The Wedding Reception

From vows promised, rings exchanged and pronouncing of husband and wife.... the celebration begins!

And it was a blast! Again Caleb and Rebekah were filled with excitement and love as their family and friends gathered to celebrate their wedding day together. Following the ceremony, wedding family pictures and shuttle drive back to the Country Club... the festivities began..

First as we came in,  rather than signing a traditional Guest Book, Kari took your picture with a Polaroid camera... and you then took the developed photo and placed it on a scrapbook page she had prepared ... then you signed it ... what a great different way for them to remember this day!



After dinner came the Toast... and Caleb thanking the families...






Then the First Dance Together....


To spending time with family and friends....





Even Janaya the Flower Girl can't wait to dance.... and that she did!







I tried to get pictures of Noah dancing..
but every time he saw me he just stopped and stared...
at least he gave me the thumbs up that he was
having a great time and it was a great party...


Rebekah's ready to dance... and gets Caleb to remove his tux jacket..




.... and roll up his sleeves....



Holly shows me how the chocolate fountain works....
like I needed help eating chocolate...


The cake was elegant and simple....
which made it perfect!



The cake cutting was memorable.... honestly,
don't they look sweet and innocent here???




Time for taste testing....



Rebekah was blowing cake out her nose... hee hee hee...


Checking for cake remains... and I gettin' ready for her come-back...


It happened so fast I missed it... but here's the evidence on Caleb's face (again)...
think he was kinda tickled with himself that he got her first!!!

In the background you heard Rebekah's dad
holler out "Get use to it and welcome to the family Caleb"


Here's the bride and groom,
with their friend Mike who officiated the ceremony on the right
and with their Marriage Counselors, the Mullers on the left.


Showing their rings and "it's official"


Geoff and Claire make it out to the dance floor.. several times!





Time for the Bouquet Toss... Rebekah didn't hesitate..
and actually didn't even wait for the 1-2-3 count... she just threw it!!!


Caleb makes his plan for the garter toss....
but Jacob is pretty determined to catch it... and he did!


More dancing... and celebrating...
as Caleb teaches everyone a version of the electric slide..
well sort of...















 The time just flew by and next thing you knew it was time for them
 to say their good byes and leave...








The Newlyweds are spending the week in Palm Springs....
It was quite the celebration and will be a day we'll never forget!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Banner!
