I had no sooner put the finishing touches on the details and on my makeup when guests started to arrive. Mr P has a huge family, many of who we hadn’t seen since the prior Christmas, and we hadn’t seen my dad’s family for longer than that. The beginning of the reception was a whirlwind of hugs and hellos.

It made me giggle that Mr Pretzel got carded (it’s because he shaved that day!). We were glad that we splurged and serve Leinenkugels.
Thinking up tough questions for our newlywed game.
Mr P and I welcomed our guests and shared with them some stories from our first four months of marriage.
My FIL led us in a blessing.
It was the day after Thanksgiving so we went BBQ style.
While our guests ate Mr P and I played a newlywed version of the Shoe Game.
Most of the time we were in agreement (hence raising the same shoe) but sometimes we were not.
Up next: Epic Dancing
I just saw the shoe game for the first time at the last wedding I went to. I fell in love with it. I’ve been to a bazillion weddings and never saw it before.
Such a great game! I just saw a version of this on 4 weddings and really wish I had seen it earlier - looks like so much fun!

Mrs. Pretzel, Seattle Age and Occupation: 32 Learning, Training, and Development Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28 Manufacturing Engineer Engagement Date: September 2, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Catholic Church & The Engine Room at Georgetown Studios About Me: I’m just a thirty-something girl who never dreamed of weddings, poofy dresses, or ritzy receptions. I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married. Ironically, I had to go all the way to Seattle to find a boy from Purdue. We fell in love over Seattle Beers and cooking together. I love NASCAR, he loves Legos. I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.
