And now the part that everyone had been looking forward to. . .
The after party!
Many selfies were taken:
And Emily found out what happens when you leave your phone unattended:
After an amazing dinner, it was time for what all the young kids at the reception had been looking forward to (and only really came to the wedding for). The CAKE!
Emily and Quinn chose confetti cake (they deemed it fit their combined personalities) for their wedding cake, expertly made by a family friend.
And all the young children at the wedding agreed it was a good choice:
But it was time for something that Quinn and Emily had been looking forward to for quite a while: dancing!
When Quinn and Emily first started dating, Quinn taught her to swing dance and since then they had taken several dance classes together. They had both agreed that a slow waltz for their first dance didn’t quite capture their style…so they combined two of their favorite songs: “Honeybee” a slow foxtrot by Steampowered Giraffe, and “Emily” an up-beat swing by The Hot Club of Cowtown.
The result was certainly a show of their style and elegance on the dance floor:
Meanwhile, shenanigans were afoot!
Sadly, the rain started up again, and the paint washed off almost completely by the time Quinn and Emily left down the road.
I think everyone would agree that fun was had by all, the evening ending with what seemed to be a mile-long conga line! But all too soon it was time to wish the new bride and groom off on their way!
It’s just too bad that Laura and Bethany couldn’t tag along with them. . .
