Cocktail Hour and a Clown...

After our walk up the marketplace from the church to our reception, all our guests were greeted by Amaretto Sours. Our cocktail hour was held outside on the patio in front of the restaurant. Our guitarist, Brendan Burns, was there to set the mood playing wonderful jazz standards and people really began to enjoy the party.


Mr. Onion and I steal a quick kiss as we enjoy our drink.


Mr. Onion's best friend/GM with my mom. They have known each other for almost 15 years since he began volunteering for her non-profit. He still volunteers his time each summer.


Here he is again taking some photos downstairs while Daria and Andy were upstairs capturing the tables, flowers, favors etc.


MIL Onion enjoying herself. Isn't she lovely??


Mr. Onion smiles for a photo with our friend from Curacao (left) and his brother (right). They were the life of the party!


Guests enjoying the weather and each other's company.


Me with my "aunt" -- she and her husband have been friends with my parents for 35+ years and have always been like family to me.


Look how relaxed and happy I was! I felt like this all day.


Another one of our "photographers." We have so many loved ones who are avid photographers and they all brought their cameras! We were blessed to have so many different perspectives from the day.


My mother had pearl clips made to match her earrings and necklace. I thought she looked very classy.


The day of our wedding their was a Market Festival in the center of Burlington and so we headed down the block for a few minutes to watch a clown and our photographer followed us.



He asked for some audience participation and this cute little boy volunteered.


We were dying laughing he was so funny.


I didn't realize it until we got down there, but my mother had brought our flower girl down to see the show too. Her expression is priceless!


I love the urban feeling and the energy of these photos.


Look to the left and you'll see our videographer, Wes Jones.


One of my BM's came to tell us it was time to head upstairs for the reception. Look how sweet -- our flower girl was running up behind us. Again, I didn't realize until I saw this photo.

Next up...our first dance and the reception begins.

On the Church Street Marketplace...

After our ceremony we took a group photo outside the church (can't wait to see those from our photographer) and then processed with all our guests (stopping traffic) down the Church Street Marketplace to our cocktail hour outside Adrianas restaurant. See my post on Cocktail Hour Details and then enjoy the tons of photos below.


Mr. & Mrs. Onion with our great photographer Daria Bishop

We had some great appetizers (most of which I didn't even get a chance to try) and our guests were greeted with our signature drink -- an Amaretto Sour! I just enjoyed relaxing, chatting and laughing with our friends and family who had traveled so far to be with us.

The appetizers we selected were:
1) Artichoke Parmesan Dip
2) Chicken Sate
3) Scallops Wrapped in Bacon

I wish I'd tasted everything, but I don't regret sipping my Amaretto sour and talking with our guests.


Mrs. Onion with her fantastic friend/bridesmaid


Happy newlyweds!


With my new mother-in-law. Doesn't she look proud?!


The only shot we took of our rings on our hands!

Shoe change! I'm so grateful for my bridesmaid who spent the morning shopping for back up shoes -- it really made the rest of my evening :)


Off to see the street performers at the Marketfest!


And our flower girl just had to come -- so sweet that she's running to catch up! I didn't even know she followed us until I saw this photo.


And a great teaser photo by our photographer of us enjoying the show -- see our flower girl in the foreground on the left?
