This is where the families of the bride and groom officially meet. We had expected about 100 people, I hear there were about 250 people there! Eeek!! I didn’t sleep well the night before, because I was so nervous and I really didn’t know what to expect. I’ve been to events like this before, but I’m generally in a corner somewhere just observing.
