Its the afterpaaarty {part 1}

First of all, I want to apologize. I know I said this post was going to be like a million pictures, etc... but, listen guys. Life kind of got in the way last night. So instead, I decided to enjoy some much needed time with friends. Besides, this post would've been WAY too long, so I'll be splitting it up into next week. Yayyy.

Anyway! Lets get started, shall we?

Our reception was located right outside of the church in a huge white tent with lights hung and a dance floor in the middle. It was perfect, aside from the few lights you'll see that didn't light up...but like I said, that was our biggest problem all day. So I'd say it was a success!

These are just a few reception details. We kept it very simple!

We had muslin bags full of our favorite candies as favors!

Giant metal tubs (my fav!) to hold drinks!

Hand made centerpieces!

We kicked off the night with our fun walk in song... and the couples began getting introduced!

"aaaand for the first tiiiime; Mr and Mrs. Maaaaaggnnessssss"

So, we sit down. We're only sitting for a few seconds, when Jared looks over and tells Caleb he should go on the dance floor to thank everyone for coming. I look at Jared like he has 7 heads, "Uhh, did you do that at your wedding?!", he looks confused...but is trying his hardest to distract me. Caleb "gives in", gets up...and goes out on the floor. All the while I'm asking Jared "Why did you make him do that?", etc etc etc.

Here comes surprise #3.

He certainly did thank everyone for coming, but that wasn't all.

He turns to me, and says "You know, you do some crazy things for love..."

Suddenly one of our close friends, Josh is near him...and has set up two stools, brought over some microphone stands and two guitars. Whaaat is going on?!

Then it clicks. He was going to sing to me.

Thanks to Erin for catching this awesome reaction of mine

Pretty sure I said "shut UP!", or something along those lines, and then instantly burst into tears. :)
Have I mentioned I have one amazing husband?

 "you knew alll along didn't you, Jared!!?"

Obsessed with this shot.

Thanks for this shot, Erin!

The song he sang me? One of our favorites. One Republic's "Something I Need". Ugh, if you need me... I'll be in a puddle on the floor.

Then our guests got into it and we clapped along with the beat, it was overwhelming, really.

I was in shock, seriously. I remember saying to myself this is seriously happening?!!? It was just amazing. I absolutely couldn't believe that he just did that in front of everyone, and that he did it for me. I have one heck of a man.

Come back next week for the rest! Can't wait to show you guys all the fun that took place!

Happy FRIDAY!
