True Love And Coffee (A Gilmore Continuation)

34

Cocktail hour, for our guests, was held inside the main house while we took our photos and the ceremony setup was transitioned over for the reception.

"You look beautiful." Logan whisper into my ear as the photographer snapped another picture.

"You don't look so bad yourself." I replied, turning toward him.

"That's great guys, just keep doing what your doing." The photographer interjected.

"I can't believe we finally made it." I said smiling.

"Well we did, Mrs. Huntzberger." He replied, and then kissed me.

"Introducing for the second time, Mr. and Mrs. Huntzberger!" The MC said into the microphone, announcing out entrance into the reception as everyone cheered.

It looked so different then earlier. There were three long rectangular tables, that sat fifty people each. Each table was covered in cream colored table cloths with pale pink shimmer overlays. The centerpieces ran all the way down the middle of each table, consisting of beautiful, fresh roses in same hues as mine and the bridesmaids bouquets, candelabras with white candles to create a contrast in height, with pearls draping in the open spaces, and tea-light and votive candles spaced along the tables. Each place setting consisted of a pearl trimmed charger with sliver trimmed china on top. A pale pink cloth napkin sat on top of the plates and inside was a printed menu of the dinner.

On the other side of the tables sat a raised wooden dance floor and directly in front of it sat a small sweetheart table. Above the reception setup hung lanterns that cast a dim glow and twinkle lights were lit in the trees around the perimeter of the area. It was amazing what a team could do in the span of an hour. We made our way straight to the stage and danced our first dance to "Moon River", the first song we danced to at my grandparents vow renewal.

"This is what happens when we leave Emily to the majority of putting things together." I said with a laugh as Logan twirled me gracefully across the dance floor.

"Yes, but it is an amazing night. Plus, all that matters to me in this moment is you and me." He said in reply.

We danced until the song ended and he spun more and then lowered me into a dip to finish. He brought me back into a standing position and everyone clapped, and then we made our way down to our small table.

"Those dance lessons kind of helped." Logan said with a chuckle.

"Miss. Patty tries." I said. "How's your foot?"

"You know, with all the ties you've stepped on it, it's numb to the pain." He said flat out laughing now, taking his seat next to me.

Dinner was served and then shortly after the dance floor was opened up. We made our rounds, talking to and thanking everyone who made the trip up to Nantuket for the wedding. Everyone congratulated us on our marriage and told us how much fun they were having.
