China Barbie's Wedding Reception
Happy Monday everyone! It is a beautiful day here in Massillon, Ohio, and I am sitting here inside a Starbucks, truly thankful and grateful for my life! I am so just so excited that I get to share my life with you guys every week! I love pouring out my heart on the internet, and knowing that you are there to read it! Ok anyways! End rant! And begin blog post! I have today, another wedding post for you guys! Wohoooo!!! The last one was part one of our wedding reception, the decorations and food and all that. Today's post is all about the activities of our wedding reception, and all the special moments captured!

First off we had the speeches and toasts. I of course cried at all of them! This is my little sister giving her heartfelt and amazing speech.

The Father Daughter dance!
I am such a daddy's girl, so I am so happy that we did the father daughter dance!
We danced to "My Girl" by the Temptations. We even did a little routine! 
After the dance was over, the record skips, and on comes, "The Twist" by Chubby Checker. I look at my dad, and he breaks into the dance! I was shocked! My dad is not a dancer! I was impressed enough that I got him to do the father daughter dance, and here he is shakin' his booty, doin' the Twist!!! So we got to dance two dances together! His little surprise was such a hit, absolutely everyone loved it and was talking about it! He told me later that he would go outside every night, and practice doing the twist! My Dad is just the greatest!

We danced to our song, "Only You" by the Platters.
It was romantic and sweet, and absolutely perfect.

For the dancing we didn't want a bunch of people bumpin' and grindin' all up on each other, and plus, we wanted to keep with the 1950's theme. So! We had a professional dance instructor (above [who also happens to be our good friend, and the dj's wife]), teach everyone a couple of retro dances! It was such an amazing time! Everyone got to learn something new, and it was a blast to see the past coming to life, by people doing the twist, the stroll, and swing! Take a look at how much fun we had!

And we will end our big day with our grand exit! 
We wanted to do something different than the usual bubbles or sparklers, so everyone threw sprinkles at us instead!
Me, my mom, and my sister spent hours filling plastic sandwich baggies with sprinkles, then tying them shut with pieces of lace! It was adorable, and these pictures turned out great!

    I'm Jessica!

    I've traveled all over the world, but Ohio is where I call home. I'm a lifestyle & travel blogger, and author. I love setting goals, reading, and snuggling up with my fur babies. I can usually be found at my local thrift store, or in the hammock in my backyard.
