We had our second reception on Friday the 13th : the Vancouver Reception

First off, I must say it was either have our reception on Friday the 13th or Valentine's day. We took the superstitious day because we wanted more people to show up.

Second of all, just like the Boise reception, I told Nate's mom over in Washington that she was in charge of the second open house/reception. I showed her the same Pinterest pictures with the burlap and lace and naked wedding cake. She used some of the pictures and decorations from the first reception to make it look very similar. The night before the second reception, Nate's mom had surgery. A lot of the last minute details had to be handed out to the amazing ladies in her ward. They did amazing picking up where she left off. Now, Nate's mom is an amazing baker. Even with the surgery she managed to make the cake we wanted. But the cake was so moist we couldn't stack it! It was falling down like the cake in Sleeping Beauty.


Nate's mom, Kim, was able to ask a photographer in her ward to take pictures of our reception for free. Thanks, Shelly!

The amazing thing at this reception was the amount of food! These pictures don't do food justice. And those food stands? Those are heart-shaped logs! Talk about cute! We were able to take one of them for our own home after the reception was over.






So we got to cut the cake again. This time we made sure to get each other in the mouth. The second cake cutting picture is too funny to not add!




The photographer told us to dance, even though the reception was just about over. So these beauts are our dancing faces. Nathan, looking like a party animal...


... and I look like I'm doing a little jig! Ha!
