[Mandarine]

Oh yes, ready to paaaartyy...lol
This face is so funny....hahaha...I was dancing with hubby there

 

[Mandarine]

And THIS IS the Venezuelan way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It''s called ''cotillon''...also known as "crazy hour". This is the last hour of the reception....the madness starts and it is like mardi gras!!!!...it is the most fun of the entire party! Notice me in my pimp purple hat!...DH had a similar one with leopard prints...hahaha

 

[gwendolyn]

[goldenstar]

WOW-- What a gorgeous wedding for a gorgeous couple! Congrats!

 

[Mandarine]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was just a blast...that''s the best way I can decsribe it...everyone was on the dance floor all night long...from kids to grandmas!!!

DH went to college in New Orleans, so when we broke out the cray hour and they saw the "beads", crazy hats, etc all of his friends went NUTS!!!.....they thought we had made up that this was a Venezuelan tradition...they kept saying it should be a tradition "at every wedding"...it was just so much fun!!!

 

[appletini]

Looking at your wedding pictures makes me so excited for my wedding in four months. You looked gorgeous.

 

[Mandarine]

Thank you guys!!!!...

This picture cracks me up....I made my new hubby carry me into the bus at the end of the reception.....(we left with our guests!!!)...please note the no shoes and how dirty my dress ended up!!! LOL. I didn''t care, the dress was to be worn and enjoyed! and I enjoyed wearing it til the last second!!!!

Hubby looks like a younger, cuter, Chris Noth!

That''s the first thing I thought of when I saw you''re husband.

What a beautiful bride! You guys make a lovely couple. Best wishes and much happiness to you both! Congratulations!

 

[Mandarine]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are all so sweet and thank you for the nice wishes and compliments!!
I started a new thread with pro-teasers!!!...just figured that would be easier than posting them here!.

The more I see the pictures the more I fall in love all over again with the actual wedding! It was just the bext...romantic, fun, so "us"!!! I can''t complain....sure, things went wrong here and there, but nothing that we will let bring us down from our "happiness high"!

M~

WOW, what a gorgeous gal you are...and a stunning bride. Your dress, veil...and I adore your pearl bracelet!! Such a nice touch. Congratulations!

 

[Harleigh]

Well, heck! I guess being sick I miss all of the good stuff! Since I just now found your pro-teaser pix, I had to come back and find these non-pro pix, but I have to say, they show the love between you two, the fun you and your guests were having, and the general feel-good feeling it shows everyone having! I couldn''t be happier for you, Mandarine!

BTW, may I ask what it says in sparkles underneath the word BRIDE on your tank top??? It''s killing me trying to decipher it!

 

[Mandarine]

haha harleigh!...sorry you''ve been sick!

(

I think the tank top says "sexy little bride"...It''s from Victoria Secret. I was going to change to a "I <3 ''DH name" tank top when it was time for me to get ready, but completely forgot!!

Mandarine, you both look STUNNING and so happy! Congratulations!
