These are a few of my favorite things:

Cocktail hour

Aryn and Hayden decided to have their cocktail hour in the meadow up at Cascade. This was so fun because they had cocktails and photos with everyone and sabered a champagne bottle with skis. We set up cocktail tables, and family and friends got to chat and congratulate the bride and groom while drinking some cocktails and snacking on some finger food. After cocktail hour, Aryn and Hayden rode down on a tandem bike and their guests followed them to dinner.

Dancing

This dance party was legit. They had a live band, a huge disco ball, and a cocktail fountain. This group loved to dance and party. The band was amazing and kept the vibes going all night. Their first dances were fun and sweet! During the dancing, people were taking fun polaroids and would put them in the guest book. Aryn did an outfit change halfway through and some of her friends brought out wigs. There were drinks and cake and lots and lots of laughter. No one was sitting down or took a break.

Family and Friends

This group of people was some of the most fun and excited people I've seen come to a wedding. Every person there meant so much to the couple and had played a significant role in each of their lives. People came from all over the US, and some came internationally. This group was so energetic, and they were all ready to party all night long. From the toasts that they gave to the dance moves they busted out, all of their guests truly wanted to be there and showed what it meant to really celebrate and love on the couple.
