My Sister’s Wedding: The Reception
The wedding reception was a PAR-TY! 
The bride and the groom definitely had the time of their lives!
After snapping photos outside, we headed indoors for a cocktail hour and some appetizers.
The Mediterranean bar was delicious! 
I really loved the Parmesan cheese!
The room for the reception was decorated so beautifully! My sister’s choice in decor and table settings made the room feel very autumn-y.
The Mother of the Bride and my handsome husband:
M & T:
The Bride and me! 
A single pumpkin truffle was placed by each of the table settings as a wedding favor. They were so GOOD! I ate Mal’s too! 
Dinner was great! I started with a house salad with Italian dressing.
For my entree, I ordered the vegetarian option. It was baked eggplant in a pumpkin and squash puree.
Inside the eggplant were beans, barley, and squash. It doesn’t look that pretty, but it was an amazing meal! I practically ate the entire portion.
After dinner, the happy couple cut the cake.
Pat and my sis were so cute!
Cake is one of my favorite parts about weddings!
Also for dessert was a wonderful chocolate bar with fresh fruit. I was pretty full after eating dinner, 2 truffles, and a piece of cake, so I only enjoyed one piece of banana dipped in chocolate. It was divine!
After filling my stomach, I hit the dance floor to burn off some calories!
We boogied down for the next couple of hours!
So fun!!!
I still can’t believe my sister is a Mrs! I am so thrilled that she picked such a wonderful guy as her husband.
Congrats, Sister and Pat! Enjoy your honeymoon!!!
