Wedding Pictures, Round 5- Cocktail Hour and Speeches

Once all of our guests exited the Champion's Club and went through the receiving line, Tall Guy and I (and the photographers) had a moment to ourselves to be in the moment and reflect on what just happened. We wanted to be able to mingle at the cocktail hour so we quickly hustled up to the Metropolitan Club.

 Getting bustled.

Ran into an old family friend on the way.

We had 5 speeches total, but thankfully they were all fairly short and spread out. My dad started it off. 

Tall Guy's mom followed. 

At this point our salads were served and everyone started chowing down.

Then, my youngest sister gave her speech. I started crying immediately.

Next up was my middle sister. Everyone in the room was crying by this point! Both of them did such an amazing job. I couldn't have asked for anything better. 

Tall Guy's best man finished the speeches with heartfelt words. 

I love this picture because of my cousin's head poking up in the background!

Next up, time to dance!
