WoW....what an amazing, elegant, fun, enjoyable, southern-esque reception we had. My mother did such an AMAZING job with the reception. I do not take credit for anything....it all goes to her. She did everything from the table settings to the favors and everything in between. She put together an event like I had never seen before. Thanks a ton mom!! There were also so many other people who helped out and we thank y'all too. The reception was something I had only dreamed about.
It took place at the Marietta Garden Canter in downtown Marietta. It is a small black and white house, that served as a resting place for leaders during the civil war time, and is set back in the middle of large oak trees, and a wrap around front porch. Picture perfect!! In every room of the house a different event took place. One room was designated for food, which was catered by Sweet Tomatoes, and included everything from soup and salads, regular and sweet potatoes, shrimp, cornbread, muffins, cookies and more. One room was a small library with a very antique piano, which provided some room to sit down. Another room had our delicious cake, and the room next to it was a small sitting lounge that included our story of how we met and a slide show of pictures. We also had a tent set up outside for people to eat and enjoy one another. Last but not least the dance floor. Of course this was my favorite room. We had so much fun dancing the night away.
Here are just some highlights of what took place on the dance floor:
1. Connor Ensign breaking it down with his oh so original dance moves and busting out the WORM for all to witness.
2. Justin Young creating the first circle of the night and breaking it down in the middle of it, with everyone chanting "Go Justin, Go Justin, Go Justin"!
3. Maryn Young who never stopped dancing the entire night!! I promise you this child is a natural born dancer. She loved it and couldn't stop spinning the whole night.
4. Grandma Ensign decided to join in on the dance cha-cha slide....who would have thought she had it in her!!
5. The Young boys getting crunk on soulja boy! Im sure there were a few rattled people after that number.
6. All my girls from high school and college dancing together during mambo #5. That was so fun for me to be dancing with everyone again.
7. Connor Ensign and Brynna Young.....I guess little Brynna was hesitant to come out and dance but when asked by my brother she took the invitation and danced right along with him.
8. Dancing with my Dad was definitely one of the highlights of my night. I sure do love him. Thanks Dad!
9. Of course the first dance as a married couple with my hubby was unforgettable...man I sure do love him.
10. Phil and Jody both made an appearance on the floor. But I have to say that Jody swinging her pearl necklace above her head and dancing for all to see was one of the highlights of the night!!!!




Thanks again everyone for the amazing night!!! We love you all!!! Again.....more pictures to come, I promise!!!
