The ceremony was over, and we made our way to the side yard.
It had been our intention to have a sort of informal receiving line in the side yard between the ceremony site and the happy hour area. Unfortunately, this was not announced at the end of the ceremony, and I think most guests were confused and just headed straight to Happy Hour.
But the wedding party and a handful of family members gathered with us to offer their bear hugs and congratulations.

We posed for a few photos:
And relished in the joy of one another…
We sent MOH Ginger and Best-M out to gather the wedding party and family that would be needed for our candid group photos. BM-K made a beeline to the bar to fill a pitcher of Hoptober, and it was time for Happy Hour to begin.
