Show Us Your Life "Wedding Reception & Honeymoon"

Once again I'm doing Kelly's Show Us Your Life.

I loved my reception. What a fun fun time!! Where I live, there are a lot of Czech people....including my husband. So we had the traditional Czech wedding/wedding reception. This consist of lots of great Czech food, a great band to dance to and lots to drink till late in the night. We had our reception at the local hall KJT. It stated around 3:30 or 4:00 and last till midnight. At the reception, we cut the cakes, did some toasts, socialized, ate dinner, then danced the night away.

There is a tradition we all do at wedding called the Grand March. Its the dance that starts off the night by having a married couple lead a LONG line of couples dancing. They go first, then the bride and groom follow, along with the wedding party and then the guest. They will lead us through the whole hall, the kitchen, bar, dinning room and back to the dance floor. Then at the end of the dance Brad and I would dance together and they would all make a circle around us as we dance.

Then Brad and I had our first "real" dance as a couple. We danced to Paul Brandt "I do" great country love song.

Then I had my father daughter dance. We dance to Gary Allens "When Little Boys Grow Up"....they become men, it talks about fathers growing up and see there little girls grow up. It was perfect. I do not remember what Brad and his mom danced to. Sorry!

After all that, the dancing began and then we partied down the rest of the night. It was absolutely a wonderful time!!!

Here are pictures from that night...You'll see some of the decorations through some of the pictures. I LOVED how everything was decorated.
