Reception Hall

Entry and gift area
pretty fake cake
sign in table
the centerpieces

We stayed up pretty late Friday night decorating the cultural hall for the reception. I think it turned out really nice. Chad kept joking around that with the red and black colors they chose that it looked like a meeting for the Mafia. LOL! After the wedding we were abandoned by all of our families and had to take down and clean up the whole thing alone...Alone as in Me, Mark, Kyle, Brittany's parents and her brother and sister. There were other people who cleaned up the kitchen. I'm so thankful for that. Mark and Kyle took all the decorations back and I brought all the gifts home. The entire bed of the truck was packed with presents so I had to make many trips carrying them in the house. My feet hurt so darn bad! They really got a lot of very nice things.
