Once outside, our wedding coordinator passed out sparklers and matchbooks. In some random bride centric moment, I purchased personalized matchbooks with our initials. I don’t have a picture of it and I don’t know why I insisted on doing it. Oh well, at least they were only like $30.
With the sparklers lit, it was time for Mr. A and me to make a run for it. In fact, we ran so fast that our photographers only got a few shots.
I think I was deathly afraid that the sparklers would catch my dress/hair on fire. Which you think I would have thought about before selecting sparklers…c’est la vie. I also had this fear that the sparklers would crap out by the time we got to the end. I was wrong about that too. Those sparklers went on for a good two minutes after we ran through. Really we should have just run back through a second time.
Anyway, I definitely don’t recommend running. Or you won’t have very many pictures. Milk the moment as much as possible. Give your hubs a sweet kiss and then slowly walk your way through the sparkles. Unless you have very evil friends, I’m sure no one will catch you on fire.
Our photographers did get a really cute shot of my bridesmaids with their sparkles.
Love those girls.
Our photographers also took the time to take a few nighttime shots of our venue.
I love this fountain shot soooo much.
And with that, our reception was over just as soon as it began. I mean it literally went by in an instant. Luckily, Mr. A and I decided to throw a little after party so we could get some more quality time with our favorite people (check back in tomorrow to see that post).
