Yesterday I showed off the physical set up of our wedding reception, which was a picnic style relaxed party. It was perfect for us- my Aunt's house is the perfect venue- an active farm with gardens & animals, the kids enjoyed milling about and petting bunnies. The pool, fire pit, tree house, and volleyball net were further entertainment for kids & adults alike.
Today you get to see all of the fun! Here are our people, in action, and how the party unfolded:
 |
| Horseshoe champs (from left) My cousin's husband, my dad, my brother, my dad's good friend, and my Uncle. |
 |
| The groom's parents. |
 |
| A good friend with his dog, Sandie. |
 |
| Gracie, the 4 year old & her daddy- Cousin's kid & hubby. |
 |
| My maternal grandparents chatting with the bro man. |
 |
| Dad meeting some of my friends. |
 |
| A few of my aunts. |

I know this pic is horrible, but, look at that cute bunny!
My aunt had me bring one out to set up a petting pen for the little ones. |
 |
| It was quite a hit when my aunt let the sheep out for the evening graze- during the party! |

Enjoying a swim the next day after our camp out.
Overall it was a great time! We had wonderful weather, wonderful attendees, so much food, and plenty to do. |

What fun! It looks like you, your friends and family enjoyed yourselves! The pool is awesome and all the fun activities you guys did!
What a wonderful group of friends and lovely family you have. If you don't mind me saying so, I can see a similarity between one of your Aunts and yourself :)

What fun! Lots of happy faces and what a great yard for a reception. I'm wishing you lots of happy years together ahead!
The reception photos--wow. What a great place to have your reception, Nancy. And thanks for sharing the family and friends photos--I cringed when I saw your niece's dive (not good for the belly).
this would be a perfect wedding in my book. it's supposed to be about family and friends and a sunny day with activities, the critters, laughs and just enjoying life. congratulations!!!
What a fun and casual time! I bet that helped a TON in the stress relief department. :-)
And: sheep! Awesome!
Nancy, thanks for sharing photos of your beautiful reception. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time. I bet you need a little down time and some relaxation after that busy weekend.
