I had wonderful time planning the reception with them from the individual bridal party announcements through the end of the reception where the guests circled around them and voiced words of wisdom and love.Emma & Rei had the bridal party introduced with a personal back story as to why they chosen and a theme song played for each person. When it came time for Emma & Rei’s grand entrance, they chose a special mix of “Let’ Get Ready to Rumble!”
Just after they were introduced, the bride and groom had their first dance to Kenny Chesney’s, “You Had Me from Hello” where half-way through, their parents joined in the dance.
Just after diner, toasts were given and we moved on to cake cutting. Emma & Rei cut their cake to the tunes of “Swing Life Away” by Rise Against the machine and “Love Story” by Taylor Swift. We all got to see “stuffing of the faces” between the bride and groom!
For their dances Emma danced with her father to Heartland’s, “I Loved Her First” and unbeknownst to Rei’s mother, we created a special mix. It started off with Hotel California (which she is not fond of), then a simulated record scratch into Metallica’s “Battery”. A crowd pleaser where others joined in on the dance!
Open dancing began where all were involved until it was time for the bouquet and garter toss. For Emma, she chose the Weather Girls, “It’s Raining Men” and for Rei, he chose Kool & the Gang’s “Get Down On It” for the removal and Devildriver’s “Clouds over California” for the toss.
All had good fun dancing for the rest of the night until it was time for the bride & groom to leave in the limo. We took careful planning to use the last 15 minutes to circle all the guests around Emma & Rei where guests conveyed their love to them.
Emma & Rei were whisked off to the limo with the bridal party to enjoy the rest of the evening in Sacrament. I know Tony will have some great photos of the time they had.
Good times, good fun!
