The Wedding: Part 4 – The Reception

Finally, all the planning and the photos and the ceremony were over and it was time to hang out with everyone.

The venue did a great job setting up the reception space in purple, teal, and tangerine.

It was great to grab a seat and catch up with everyone.

The dinner options included fresh, wild salmon, and pork tenderloin in a grilled guava barbecue sauce. FritzPhoto-Vilorio-524

More mingling!

As the reception came to a close, the sun began to set over the ocean. What perfect timing for our last dance. Everyone headed back down to the platform.

It was a magical, perfect day. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate.

Here’s to many, many more years of family, friends, good food, dancing, and watching the sun set.
