Wedding Reception - May 18

The reception took place at Belmont Abbey. We had a buffet dinner with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and enjoyed chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry cake. The first dance was performed beautifully, Megan and Michael shared a daddy/daughter dance, and Madison and Bonnie shared a mother/son dance. We also had anniversary dances for Billy and Bonnie, Sandy and Michael, and Jim and Pat, during which we played their wedding songs. Madison played Megan and Madison's song, which he has been writing throughout their relationship, on stage. The DJ took requests for songs, so we danced to Thriller, did the Hokey Pokey, YMCA, and congo line, and jumped around to other fun songs. The Carolans did their traditional toast with Jameson, complete with a beautiful speech by Jim. Guests also enjoyed the photo booth and sent Megan and Madison off in a cloud of bubbles.
