We had a wonderful time celebrating the marriage of John and Laura at their Conrad reception!  They married several weeks earlier in Florida, and we were privileged to capture the after-party…and it was TRULY a party.  The drinks — they flowed; the food — phenomenal; the music — stellar; and the dancing — it kept me laughing and smiling all night!  This is simply one fun bunch, many of whom I’ve known (or who knew me) since I was born.  I’ve shared in their parties for years, with John and I enjoying virgin upside-down margaritas many-a-Monroe weekend.  It was wonderful to see old friends. 

Check out the setup!  Beautiful elements wove in a Floridian theme of coral colors, place cards set atop grass; starfish bottle stopper favors, and super fun centerpieces.  Did I mention the menu was delightful too?!

Yummy martinis!

 

 

John got an assist with his dessert.  He must have been in a trance and unable to feed himself because it was so good.

Chocolate Truffle Mousse Cake accompanied by a Brandy Snap Basket with Fresh Berries.  This would explain the aforementioned photo. 

The Conga Line began early!

Laura and her dad danced away.

These dancin’ shoes were on fire!

 

 

HELLO Flying Toasters!!!

 

Bill rocked as always!

 

Can you name this song??

 

 

 

If we can’t photograph a Nies wedding, I’d really love to just be a fly on the wall to enjoy their dance moves.  They are awesome.

John joined the band on stage to sing EJ’s Benny and the Jets!  I love that song.

 

 

See, I told you that was one heck of a party!  

Thank you to John, Laura, friends and family.  We loved it all.  See all of the photos here!
