The intimate setting let every guest feel a part of the love story unfolding right before them.
Cocktail Hour: Toasts & Togetherness
Following the ceremony, everyone moved downstairs for a lively cocktail hour. Drinks flowed, laughter carried through the air, and anticipation built for the evening ahead. Guests mingled and swapped stories while savoring the charming ambiance of the historic venue.
A Grand Entrance Down the Winding Staircase
The reception began with one of the night’s most memorable moments: the bridal party and the new Mr. & Mrs. Smith–White descending the Hardy Building’s iconic winding staircase. The cheers and applause that erupted were electric—a movie-worthy entrance that set the tone for the night.
A Feast to Remember
Dinner was a true Italian celebration, with rich flavors and hearty dishes that left everyone raving. The meal wasn’t just delicious; it was the perfect way to bring everyone together before the night of dancing kicked off.
First Dances & Family Moments
The dance floor opened with a series of emotional and unforgettable moments:
-
The couple’s First Dance was as graceful as it was heartfelt.
-
The Father & Daughter Dance tugged at every heartstring in the room.
-
The Mother & Son Dance stole the spotlight in a completely different way—fun, playful, and full of energy to the beat of “Mama Said Knock You Out.” Guests loved every second of it, cheering and laughing as the duo brought the house down.
A Special Anniversary Dance
Next came the Anniversary Dance, where all couples joined the floor and celebrated love in all its stages. As the circle grew smaller, one couple proudly stood as the most experienced duo in the room—celebrating an incredible 42 years of marriage. It was a touching reminder of the lifelong journey the newlyweds are just beginning.
