We went to go do pictures before the reception and it started to POUR rain...like a torrential down pour. We didn't even care - at that point the most important part was done. Now, we could just relax and enjoy the rest of the day! The place we went to for pics was a flower farm basically, and it was STUNNING! So beautiful...We all got drenched but we had a BLAST! (BIG huge Kudos to our lovely photographer Melissa!! xoxo) There was even some karaoke and entertainment given by our niece and nephews in the bus. At one point our nephew Najee said "This one is for the whitey's" and it was so funny! My family still talks about it!
Our reception was fantastic. Our MC Wilfred Beckford 'Becky' was hilarious! He did an amazing job. The food was amazing, the decorations were amazing...everything was perfect! The only thing I would change if I could was that it was raining so hard we had to cancel our dance, but honestly, it was still so perfect! And hey, on the bright side, it meant we got to go back to the hotel early! We drove in to park our car and they asked us who for our names and Andree said "Mr and Mrs Parkin!" and we both giggled like losers - it was so fun!
I had been staying in a different room for the first two nights before the wedding and then we got upgraded to a MUCH better room in a different wing (the same wing that most of my family was in) so I had to put all my stuff into Moms room when I had checked out of the old room and waited for the new one, so at our reception Mom gave me her spare key and told me I could just come in and get my stuff later because they also took our gifts. We didn't really think that through...Anyway, that was the plan.
Andree and I headed on up to our room to first drop off Andree's luggage and realized...we are two doors away from Mom and across the hall from Ashley and Nanny. Awkward. Anyway, we drop off Andree's things and then head down two doors to Mom's to get all my other stuff and our presents! They aren't there, so we fill our arms with stuff and head back and I said "hunny get the door" and he said "I don't have the key, I thought you had it!" CRAP! We are locked out of our hotel room on our wedding night still dressed in our wedding clothes. So, just as we are trying to figure out what we are going to do, Ashley comes around the corner. The look on her face was so priceless - she did a double take and was like " I feel like I shouldn't be seeing you guys right now..." but she got over her shock and let us use her phone to call the front desk and they said they were going to send someone up ( we were quite a piece away from the lobby). We knew we have some time to kill, so we cuddled by our door. People were congratulating us as they walked past us...it was so romantic lol. Then Mom and Dad came around the corner...they were shocked too and were like "...what are you guys doing..." We told them we were waiting on someone and Mom was like "Wanna come in our room....and wait....?" and we were like "um, no thanks". LOL. It wasn't much longer before he showed up, we were still in our la la land so even then nothing could ruin that day!
