We slept in this day...we needed it. It was nice to wake up to a pot of coffee and no where to drive. The morning passed pretty lazily, we went on a short walk with Steven's parents in their neighborhood, meeting a couple of the neighbors and hearing all the stories, and then Steven and his dad ran errands and power washed the bug guts off the front of the car while I kept Steven's mom company as she prepared some of the desserts for that evening's party.
Around 7:30 pm the party began with the neighbors arriving. We met the Waters, the Whites, and several other neighbors. Everyone was very nice and we enjoyed telling them about our careers and hearing about theirs. Not to mention hearing about the neighborhood duties...Steven's parents were dubbed the Directors of Entertainment, which seemed fitting.
At some point we had a photo montage of all the photos people had posted on facebook from the wedding. We haven't gotten any of the photos back from the photographer yet and we're not expecting them for several more weeks, so facebook is all we had. It's nice to be able to look at the photos and reminisce about a day that feels like it was so long ago.
The evening with the neighbors ended early and we sat up with the new in-laws, chatting and drinking some of the left over champagne.
Good times in Mississippi.
