We had been planning our reception for a long time. We were only having one and it was going to be in Weston. It was going to be the day before the wedding because I just wanted it out of the way so that people wouldn't look at us weird like I have seen with every other reception that we had gone to. I just don't like the dumb questions that newlyweds have to endure all night.
Endrit and I...or possibly just I wanted to have pictures of us in the dress and suit to put on the tables for the reception. I agreed to meet with Brydie, my sister-in-law the morning before the reception so Endrit and I had enough time to take the pictures, head a half an hour to Logan, do 1 hour printing and come back and have time to get ready and set up the reception. Luckily I had the Stewarts that were my savior through all of the wedding process. They were my alternate family and I truly love them and all that they did for me. I found out that Brydie was with them getting sheet cake and I have to say I truly turned into what bridezilla is supposed to look like. I just wanted to go to the church and take pictures. I wanted more time! Brydie was so patient and kind and we took pictures in street clothes, wedding attire and Endrit and I were gone to logan with about 3 hours to spare before the reception. Thank goodness for the wonderful people that set up the reception more beautifully than I could imagine. I walked in, put the pictures in the frames, got into my dress and had a few minutes before I stood in my "line" with just Endrit and I.
We had many friends and family show up from around the area. From Pocatello to Salt Lake people came to our reception. I even had my brother and sister-in-law fly in from Kentucky. I was lucky to have them there. There were a couple of things that bugged me but they were minor and I have subsequently gotten over them but I was just touchy at the time. I didn't get away from sly remarks about the wedding taking place after the reception so we wouldn't get "confused" but it was a great night. At the end of the day I sold the table cloths that I made to the decorator for her use and I packed up the dress and cleaned up then Endrit and I went home where he slept in the front room, I got the bed and we had a great night's sleep.

I was so happy that we were able to at least plan your reception together and get some of the things done for it. It made me feel a little part of it.
