After the slow song, it was time for more real boogeying. ;) Let me tell you, it's rather difficult to get down in a wedding dress (those things are heavy!), but I did my best!
My sister borrowing the kids' sunglasses and microphone.
He's pretty proud of that garter.
This has to be one of my favorite photos. My dad is just hilarious.
Learning the dance for Cotton Eye Joe.
My sister and I know how to get down. ;)
Here you can see just how filthy the bottom of my dress was. Oops!
He's such a pimp. ;)
Yes, we had a ridiculously good time partying down in our pink tent. It was fantastic. We did it right though. No one got sick and my dress did come clean. :)
Immediately after the garter toss, we rounded all the single ladies up and did the bouquet toss. Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as entertaining as the garter toss. ;)
Anyway, a little mood music:
I chose Bill Conti's Gonna Fly Now (that's the theme from Rocky). Again, I thought it was cute (but I hoped that the bouquet toss wouldn't turn into a boxing match!).
Thankfully, no boxing match erupted. ;) Unfortunately, more pink. I do love the paper lanterns, though. :)
After a bit of dancing, it was time for the garter toss! Of course, we need a little mood music for this...
I chose ZZ Top's Legs. I thought it was perfect. :) Anyway, at first I just sat down in a chair. However, Philip's uncle insisted that I was supposed to sit on the best man's knee. Now, for those of you who don't know, our best man is a very conservative man. However, he was a trooper and allowed it to happen!
First on the chair.
Then on Richard's knee.
I look absolutely ridiculous here. I'm pretty sure Philip was tickling me while he was trying to get my garter.
And then the actual toss!
And, just in case that crazy picture isn't enough, let me blow it up for you:
That's my sister's boyfriend. Apparently he really wanted that garter! (and at least the photo of him catching it isn't pink! -- even though the rest are)
As promised, here are a bunch more photos of us gettin' down and having an awesome time. Enjoy! :)
YMCA!
I love this ridiculous picture! I told Philip that he didn't have to dance if he didn't want to, but he still joined me for Jump Around.
My sister and I dancing with the Best Man -- it's one of my favorite pictures of the night because it's so out of character for him!
Didn't I tell you that the tie would make another appearance?! My dad decided that ties make better headbands than neckwear. :)
Despite these pictures also being tainted by the pink, I love them. It reminds me of how awesome of a time we had. It was definitely freakin' spectacular.
So, after the official dances, it was time to really start the party. And, there are entirely too many photos that I love to put in just one post, so the dancing photos are going to be broken up into a few chunks. Enjoy!
I told my dad that he only had to keep his tie on until the father-daughter dance was over. Well, that's over and the tie is saying adios. Don't worry. It will make another appearance later.
Jack was the best little pup for the ceremony AND the reception!
Again, everything is pink. Why, oh why, does everything have to be pink? At least these photos aren't as big of a deal to me. The dancing part of the evening is somewhat okay to look like Barbie's Discotheque... I guess.
