The cocktail hour was held behind the house while the photographer took their photos. 

My hubby was honored to bless the dinner.  Here he is hugging Jill just after he led a great prayer.  Darn dude walked right between us at the WORST time :(

Jill and Eric had an assortment of their engagement pics on each of the tables at the reception.  Cute!!  Granny "Smith" apples were EVERYWHERE.........for the "Smiths"..........  And, they had a photo booth at the reception that was a HUGE hit with everyone - especially our boys!  You can see the printout of pics of Benjamin and Carl.  ADORABLE!!!!

Jill and Eric dancing their "first dance"....  So sweet........

The song skipped and the DJ apologized............then some hiphop music started playing....

....and Jill and Eric broke out into a choreographed dance..........

...which included a unique dance that Eric created when he scored while playing Lacrosse in college.  He was well known for it and when he and Jill started doing it - all his college friends ERUPTED with cheers.  It was AWESOME!!!

The Father-Daughter Dance...... Jay did a great job!

Judy even got to dance with Eric :)
