“Broadway Meets Backyard Barbecue” – that’s how Natalie and Andy described to me their dream reception, and what a reception it was! Natalie and Any both live in New York, and I had a great time planning their reception. We had a couple of meetings, a couple of phonecalls, and many conversations over Facebook! Natalie is a dancer on the New York Jets Flight Crew- Andy does something in the corporate world. (I mean, can he seriously compete with Natalie?)
It was a beautiful reception, complete with a purple wall washes and a custom-designed GOBO on the dance floor.
Here, Natalie and a few of her girlfriends bust out the Texas Tech fight song.
Enjoy the photos:
