Our Wedding: Cocktail Hour and Reception

The final wedding post of wedding week is here! These photos from our cocktail hour and reception are so special to me so I hope you enjoy the peek into the party portion of our special day. It was so joyful to be in a room safely with our friends and family. I would do it all over again, pandemic postponements and all, the exact same way. It was SO worth it and everyone was so gracious and thankful for a reason to get dressed up and have some fun.

I was SO happy we had a nice day so we could have our cocktail hour outside on the water!

The star of the show of cocktail hour, the Boat Bar!

Cutting the cake was very high pressure.

I was so happy Elsa could make it! She and my childhood best friend, Lucy, worked together and it was such a fun fateful connection.

Ah, to the cigar bar.

My dad is always the life of the party!
