Reception

Once we got to the reception, first things first - we all grabbed an ice cold beer. It tasted dee-lish after being in that heat all afternoon! Then we took a few pics before everyone got there:

Next we lined up for the wedding party introduction. Once they introduced all of us then out came Mr. & Mrs. Steve Freier :) They led us through the buffet line which consisted of salad, stuffed artichoke chicken breast, garlic mashed potatoes & green beans which was all very good.

After everyone was done eating, my brother stood up to thank everyone for coming, especially those who have traveled so far. He also spoke of Meghan's side of the family & said even though they were a bit overwhelming when he first met them, he was thankful they all accepted him & consider him part of their family.

Next came the speeches by the matron of honor (Meghan's sister Sarah) & best man (my brother Chris) which were both short & sweet. Then my favorite part of the reception - wedding cake was served :)

While we all ate cake, Meghan & Steve had their "first" dance to a Michael Buble song followed by the mom/son dance & daughter/dad dance. Then it was time for everyone to get out on the dance floor.

The night ended around 11:15pm since Parkville has a city noise ordinance so the majority of us took the shuttle back to the hotel where we proceeded to have one more drink before bed. We all gathered in the lounge & sat around discussing the days events.

It turned out to be an awesome day & a beautiful ceremony & we couldn't be happier for Steve & Meghan!
