The Reception

Everything was decorated beautifully and SO creatively! The reception was inside the Great Hall and each table was named after a landmark in eastern Oregon. Our table was the South Sister...and I'm pretty sure we had the most fun!

Me, Kari (Conklin) Harrington, Karlin Conklin (Kari's Mom), Melissa Owen, Annette Owen (Melissa and Danielle's Mom), Danielle Owen, and Tamarah (Allen) Sato with her daughters, Kira and Grace.
(Josh was taking this picture and I'm not sure where Tamarah's husband, Justin, was...but he was at our table, too.)

There was a candy buffet and open bar available throughout the reception.

We all sat down to salad and bread, and then dinner was served shortly after. Josh had salmon and I had stuffed chicken with yummy mashed potatoes...it was all very delicious!

The father of the groom performed a tap dance! He told a story about how he spent hours and hours dancing his colicky baby boy to sleep during the first few months of his life. (: He said he felt honored that Jeff asked him to dance at the wedding. It was very sweet and he did a really great job!
