At the Reception.

The reception was a blast! The food was excellent and plentiful. The band was tremendous and played songs from the '50s to the present, thus appealing to a very mixed aged crowd. (Although, the size of the room--large, but not large enough--meant that they were a wee bit too loud for comfort.)

They did the traditional introductions, toasts, first dance and father-daughter and mother-son dances.

Jen and Matt dance the first dance as man and wife.

When Dad (Joe) danced with his daughter, neither finished with dry eyes.

Joe dances with his daughter.

Joe starts to tear up, but Jen has a tissue handy.

Then it's Jen's turn to wipe away a tear--or two.

Once the formalities were concluded, it was time for the rest of us to get into the act and party and eat for the next few hours. A good time was had by all!
