The night before Greg and Renee’s wedding, Matt was asked to fill in for a reader at the wedding. They had taken sick. Matt was thrilled to read this excerpt.
I really think Renee’s and Greg’s wedding hit it out of the park with the clear expectations. When RSVPing the online form made sure that every guest knew they would (1) be required to show proof of vaccination and (2) wear a mask at the ceremony. If you didn’t say yes to those things, your only choice was to go back and change your RSVP to decline.
That said, not everyone wore their mask at all times, but most people did. And they did check our vaccination status at the door.
The table decorations were very fun. I liked the origami hearts. The wedding also came with a program that had cards for a get-to-know-people card game and a crossword puzzle.
A shot of the ceremony itself. The light was tricky in this room, so I have a lot of blurry photos.
The bridal party.
Our delightful tablemates watching the ceremony.
The person who I assume is the wedding planner. (See! Blurry!)
During the reception, there was a magician! I adore magicians.
That was my card!
The reception had an element I’d not seen before at a wedding. The bride and groom sit back to back holding one of their own shoes and one of their spouse’s shoes.
Then, questions are asked of the couple and they have to raise the shoe of the person they think was the answer. The questions were along the lines of, Who asked whom on the first date? This was a very fun activity. Greg and Renee agreed.
Obligatory self portrait, with Matt looking a little squinty.
This was a very fun wedding. There was even dancing! It’s been a long time since Matt and I shared the dance floor.
