Wedding PIctures, Round 9- Winding Down.

At the end of the night, we had one last dance to Don't Stop Believin' and Piano Man. Everyone who was left at the reception got in a big circle surrounding Tall Guy and I in the middle while we slow danced. It was amazing! Unfortunately, our photographers were long gone by this point so I don't have many photos of those moments, but it felt awesome to be surrounded by our closest friends and family!

Once we were getting kicked out of the Metropolitan Club at the end of the night, we took our rented shuttle 3 whole blocks to Cosmos in the Graves Hotel. We actually had quite a few people show up to our unplanned, informal after party. People were just hanging out and having a good time winding down from the day's activities. It was daylight savings night so the bar was open an extra hour too!

I later found out that a lot of people stayed down until bar close so I'm glad our guests kept the party going! Tall Guy and I were beat after a long, exciting, emotional day so we ended up heading up to our room around 1:00.

When we walked in I was surprised with our entire suite filled with lit candles, a hot bath drawn, champaign, chocolate covered strawberries and other baskets of goodies from both my sister and her boyfriend and Tall Guy's brother and sis-in-law. Tall Guy had commissioned two of his groomsmen to go up to our room and light all of the candles a little while before we headed up. It was a sweet gesture.

After spending 5 minutes taking out all of my hair pins and clip-in extensions and another 5 trying to get my dress's corset undone, we had a nice bath and promptly fell asleep, as we had a brunch to get to bright and early the next morning!
