Purple is definitely the in color this year, but it has such dramatic pop that it just makes me adore it that much more. The reception room at Stonegate Mansion is white so the impact of the purple is just breathtaking, especially in the evening.
We began Valery & Matt’s reception with toasts from the wedding party. The groomsmen were particularly eloquent and amusing. You can definitely tell that Valery was openly welcomed by Matt’s friends and that she has a very wonderful personality that makes her so exceptionally lovable.
Valery’s dad enjoying the toasts.
Valery’s sister and bridemaid also had particularly lovely speech. They just adore Matt.
Valery & Matt’s first dance, was tender.
But grandpa really got the room crying.
I saw grandma out of the corner of my eye and I approached quietly.
This moment is so special that I can’t stop looking at it.
Matt & his mother.
You know what time it is – cake cutting!
I rarely stick around for this part, but it was exciting to watch.

So close …
But yet not the winner.
Matt really got into the garter toss.
So I wonder if he’s trying to catch it tightly or bat it away?
Sparklers!
The fabulous vendors.
