Warning: this blog post will probably extremely boring to you unless you are oddly passionate about wedding receptions. I'm not, and I probably wouldn't look through this post if it weren't my own wedding!
But I think my photographer Jakelle did a really great job of capturing my reception, which I didn't really get to see because the receiving line was so long and I didn't get to wander around.
So here we go...

Part Ten: Goodbye!
Giuseppe almost killed me. He was running SO FAST and I couldn't keep up in my heels and long dress. He wouldn't let go of me, and he couldn't hear me screaming at him to slow down because of all the cheering. It is a miracle I didn't fall on my face or break my ankle.
