So my parents decided to have the reception they never had when they got married, 40 years ago. It was 50's themed, DJ, caterer, cake! It was much like a family reunion too. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. Here is a link to the thread of the slideshow I made for them of our family throughout the years too, if you are interested.

Their first dance was a slow dance, followed by famous songs throughout the years
in fact..here is the video on youtube

Ok, here are a couple pics:

    Very cute, and I'm sure your parents had a better time now with all their family than they would have had back then. Looks like everyone had a ball. thumb.gifthumb

    Your mom's adorable!!!!

    My in-law's had their 50th wedding anniversary last May and actually had cake this time. They got married at the courthouse on $13 - which they reminded us of several times during our wedding planning. It was soo adorable. I'm thinking I could have convinced them to dance like that, especially if a payment is involved.

    Cute pictures and adorable dance!

    Thanks everyone! We all did have a blast, and I would say, if you can do something like this, do it! It was great to see family and feel like I was at my parent's reception. My dad might have had to be bribed to participaterolleyes1.gif
