The setting for this reception is stunning. We have watched all day long as scores of people have worked to set up the reception area. There is a large tent fully equipped with lighting, tables for dinner, a cocktail area, a buffet area and a wooden dance floor. There is even a 5 foot sand sculpture with their names engraved in sand.
There are about two thousand more pictures taken on the beach with the sunset as the backdrop. The wedding planner is guiding everyone down to the surf to have their pictures taken with Bill and Steph. Every guest appears to have a camera, so more pictures are being taken. The wedding planner would like Steph to go into the surf for a picture but is dismayed to learn Steph is saving her dress for another wedding (the May reception in the US). Just a hoot!
The dinner was excellent, every kind of fish or meat you could imagine including a whole roasted pig. Following dinner an 8 piece band played for two hours and had everyone (including big Bill) dancing. To differentiate the Bills Steph's family calls Billy- dollar bill and Bill hundred dollar bill.
I think the wedding and reception were a great success and fulfilled everyone's hopes. I don't know when I've seen a more exuberant bride and groom, they appeared to have a great time at the wedding. I gotta think their faces hurt from smiling with all of those pictures though.
