The Reception

A buffet dinner and dancing followed in the tents set up in the orchard. An ice sculpture, created by Megan's dad (stepping in at the last minute for Lance's brother, whose wife had just had a baby, glittered on the table). The trees were lit with hundreds of twinkling white lights, and once the bride and groom had their first dance, the floor was constantly full of guests in celebration mode. The couple left around midnight when the rain -- which had so thoughtfully paused for duration of the wedding -- returned. Guests were given sparklers and packages of personalized matches, and the bride and groom took off in a 1931 Model A Ford amid a shower of glittering sparks.
