Great wedding reception!

Sorry I haven't posted lately, but last week we were busy getting ready to host a wedding reception for our friends Clint and Christina (the couple who's wedding we attended in Hawaii). We held the reception in our backyard on Saturday. We spent most of Friday and Saturday decorating and setting up. The reception had a luau theme, for obvious reasons.

I am not sure exactly how many people were there, but I would guess between 200 and 250. Thanks to our neighbor Tami for letting us use her field for parking.

The newlyweds...

We had lots of great food at the party. Clint's mom, Kelly, made a fabulous pot of beans that was enjoyed by all! Clint used his own organic, home-grown brisket, which was wonderful. Check out his website if this photo makes you hungry and makes you want to get some .... http://www.eelriverorganicbeef.com/.

The appetizers and salads were prepared by Hot Brew in Fortuna and they were a huge hit, especially their famous chinese chicken salad (a personal favorite of mine)!

The beautiful cake was made by Ray's in Fortuna. I think everyone enjoyed the pink champagne cake with fresh strawberries and cream in the middle.

The happy couple keeping up with the cake feeding tradition...

To get this photo I had to climb up on the kids' swingset, which I am sure was quite a sight...

It seemed like everyone had a great time at the party. I know that Andy and I did. We feel honored that Clint and Christina let us do this.
