Everyone knows that the best part of a wedding (well, in most cases) is the cake. And ours definitely did not disappoint! Faena Hotel + Universe baked us the most spectacular cake ever: a double layered dulce de leche and milk chocolate torta with white chocolate icing on the sides.
I begged Lucas to eschew the tradition of shoving the first bite of cake into each others faces and thankfully he obliged. While we were feeding each other, my friend, Apphia, whom had flown all the way from China, sang “Unforgettable” to us on a whim. It was absolutely breathtaking!
Once she was finished, the band began to play again. They played a mix of popular jazz and bossa nova songs.
Of course, everyone loved the slow music, but the party did not officially begin until the dance music started. The star of the show was definitely Lucas’ Dad. I guess I know where my husband got his smooth moves from?
I must have been inspired by his Dad in the following photo?
I refused to have any cheesy songs played during the reception, such as “YMCA,” however I did not protest when the conga line was started to a Black Eyed Peas song.
I then paused for a quick champagne break, as I knew I would need some liquid courage for what was coming up next, while Lucas took my Mom for a spin on the dance floor.
What is your favorite photo?
OK, a DULCE DE LECHE cake?!?! You win at wedding cakes.
Hahahaha I’m not going to be humble about it and say that I agree! 😉
You gotta love a good tush grab. Hahaha!
Hahahahahaha!
I hope the courage wasn’t needed to Lucas dancing with your mama!! (I kid). That cake is just making me drool! YUM!
Hahahahaha nope definitely not, it was for the garter toss! 😉
I was so happy to see these post because I love the photos of Apphia and Nathan singing to you — one of my favorite parts of the wedding. However…the post also makes me sad because reception time can only mean one thing…the wedding posts are coming to an end!
Yes, I know, it’s breaking my heart. Only 1 post left!!! Thank you again for the most amazing photos of my most amazing day. You are my photo angel!!! Love you!
Glad to be just in time for the cake! 🙂 Dulce de leche and chocolate milk? My favorites!
Yes, you have impeccable timing dear! 😉 Ooooooh, it was SO good!!!
I remember that conga line – so much fun! We really enjoyed hearing Apphia sing – what a rock star. Your reception was SO much fun =)
She’s sooo incredible! No rehearsal, no music to back her up. That’s a true singer!!! Glad you enjoyed the reception dear one!
Andi – this has been a truly epic saga to read about. I’m impressed by all the pics, of course. Looks like you got a good hard squeeze in on the Conga shot haha. It looks like there was much joy and jubilation on all fronts here, and that makes me happy.
Keep it up 🙂
It was definitely an epic saga that I hope continues for the rest of my life! Life should be about passion and joy and jubilation right!?! Love this comment dear!!!
Lucas’ family has some serious moves. His mom and dad worked it, and his little cousin is probably the best dancer I’ve ever seen!
Hahahaha OMG he was so amazing it was almost unbelievable! Can you believe that was the first time I had ever met him?
Andi, Lucas is one lucky man!
Awww, I’ll let him know! 😉
