Congratulations Kristin and Jonathan

For this reception, we were at the Kingwood Country Club. There is such a beautiful view from the room!

The details (as you can tell, I love this part): The wedding colors were white and sage green, which perfectly matched the colors of nature outside the windows. I loved the bridesmaid’s dresses: they were cocktail length with a pretty white and sage green print. They truly are dresses you can wear again.

The wedding cake was gorgeous: 5-tiers with sage green trim. The groom’s cake was amazing, as it was a replica of the Aggie bonfire. That cake must have taken a lot of time to create! The newlyweds also had one of those cool ceramic signature plates that the guests sign. Once you get it home, you bake it in the oven and the signatures are permanent. You can see how great the plate will look when it’s finished! They also had the photo confetti scattered on the tables. It has their pictures on both sides and is a great memento for the guests.

After viewing a slide show and eating dinner, it was time for the toasts. The father of the bride made a toast and it was so funny! He said something that came out differently than he intended. Everyone cracked up, including him. Later, not to be outdone, the father of the groom got on the mic and said a few words as well. He is apparently quite a comedian, as he was hilarious! He was saying something about the best man and a bull dozer….too funny. Then, it was time for dancing. The bride’s aunt and uncle were some of the first people on the dance floor, and they were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them!

Of course, since Jonathan and Kristin are Aggies, we had to play the Aggie War Hymn. There were a lot of people on the dance floor for that one! So, after an evening of dancing and fun, and a great sparkler exit (sometimes sparklers don’t work very well, as the guests light them too soon and they’re burned out by the time the bride and groom make their exit. That didn’t happen this time. The sparklers were extra long, they didn’t burn out too soon, and the exit couldn’t have been better. I’m sure the pictures will look awesome!), Kristin and Jonathan headed out for their honeymoon in a truck that was well decorated by the Bridal Party. Congratulations!
