CELEBRATE good times!

Bernadette's family is so FUN! This reception had SO much energy! EVERYONE was out on the dance floor! There was hardly any room to squeeze on most of the time! But her family was also very inviting and would make you feel part of the group. In keeping with the famous youtube video of the dancing wedding party procession into the Church, Bernadette and Justin's wedding party danced into the reception. This set the tone. It was going to be a fun reception!

Kate and JC raise the roof...
And here's the happy couple!

I know you can't see Bern's face, but just LOOK at Justin's smile!

Justin knocked our socks off by leading his bride around the dance floor!

Look at them go!

Getting my Kleenex out again for the father-daughter dance!

"Thank Heaven, for little girls!"

Aunt Gilda was overcome with emotion as Justin asked her to dance.

So sweet!

The Dads look on.

And JUST when we thought the formalities and dances were over, the DJ asked Bernadette to take a seat in the middle of the dance floor. "Your Dad and brothers have prepared something for you." Onto the dance floor they came wearing sunglasses and singing the old song, "Bernadette"!

Then a few more came to sing...

...and a few more...

Next thing you knew, the entire dance floor was filled with Bern's fun family!

Here's to the bride and groom!

JC shares the memory of meeting Bernadette before they were dating, and noticing the spark in Justin's eye. Not long after that they were dating! (My favorite profile in the world!)

And we're so glad they did!

Katie: "Here's to love, to laughter, to happily ever after!"

Christian's looking suave!

Trinity's adorable!!!

Color blind. The little boy was recently adopted from Russia (I think) and spoke little English. Didn't matter on the dance floor! They were instant friends!

Damian, Trinity, Christian and Chandra

(Chandra is my niece! I'm the great-aunt of the kids! Ha!)

I love my husband!

The love was contagious in the room. I was giddy with love for my husband.

Aunt Gilda and JC

Doesn't she look gorgeous?!

Dad and Yvette (sister) tear it up!

Aunt Gilda and JC

Yummy!

Check out the PERFECT cake topper!!!

Could it BE more perfect? She even has red hair!

Sweet! (Literally!)

I can't believe Justin wiped frosting on her face! And he did it so calmly! Just reached over and smeared it on her face! It was so funny! Of course, she paid him back! :)

Kiss and make up!
