Ben & Caroline Wedding Reception


This past weekend our friends Ben and Caroline held a wedding reception on Vancouver Island. It was so great to spend time with them again, and here how married life has been since they have been married for a few months already. Here is a picture of Andrea and Sarah who stood on behalf of Caroline. Their flowers had been put together by Ben's sisters and were absolutely gorgeous!
Ben and Caroline shared their vows again in a quaint little church (St Mary's) and held the reception in Ben's parents backyard.

When we arrived we were surprised to see a carnival set up - that's right a carnival!

At first I was a little hesitant as games are not often my favorite thing, (especially in a skirt) but after particapating in a few it wasn't long til we were laughing hysterically and enjoying ourselves immensely. I mean who couldn't have fun throwing an axe at a stump, shooting a paint ball gun at targets in the bush, throwing mini balls into jars and hitting targets.


There was even prizes awarded. Both Louise and I were so proud of our hubbies and their massive winnings (a party favour bow and arrow, and some chocolates)

The best part was the smoked salmon and yummy meal, after which the happy couple cut the cake...with a sword! Here's a few of us from Vancouver that came over for the fun...

Sounds like you all had fun! I love her dress. Its funny being so cold here and seeing you guys in your lovely summer gear. Ange, so tough with the axe, but so pretty in your dress... very oxymoronish! Now did I spell that right Glenna?
looks fun!

In the last picture you like the cast of Grease or something! Sounds like a great reception idea. When we get married again we'll have to do that! When are you coming to Vancouver Island to see us?
