After the wedding, the wedding party headed off to get photos done together. It was completely gorgeous weather that they couldn't pass up doing the photos together.
After the photos were taken by the photographer, the wedding party headed into the hotel, where the wedding guests were having the happy hour. Ten minutes left, everyone were directed to the ballroom, where they're having the reception.
Audrey sat down in her chair, seated next to her husband, Peyton after he helped her get seated. "I'm so excited not to be sitting in that chair anymore. My back was starting to hurt." She says, taking a sip of her water.
"Are you alright, baby girl?" Peyton asked as he sat down next to her.
Audrey nods. "Yeah, I'm alright." She says, rubbing her five month pregnant belly.
Dana, 22, her date, Cadence Marchelli, 29, Delilah, 21, her date, Alexander Winters, 23, and Landon, also 21, and his date, Alexis Miller, 19, Beth, 23, and Ethan Kennedy, 23, all headed over to the table.
"Hey lady. How are you doing?" Dana asked her pregnant cousin as she sat down next to Peyton, and Cadence sat on the other side of her.
Audrey chuckles a little. "I'm just great. I'm feeling very hungry, and very pregnant, well, I'm not that pregnant, you know what I mean." She takes another sip of her water.
Dana nods her head. "Yeah, we get you, girl." She smiles at her cousin, taking a sip of her champagne.
Alexis looks at Audrey. "How far along are you, Audrey?" She asks.
"I'm 22 weeks pregnant with a baby girl." Audrey smiles brightly, talking about her daughter as she rubs her pregnant belly.
Alexis smiles at her. "Congratulations! I'm sure you are overjoyed."
Peyton takes a hold of his wife's hand and smiles at Alexis. "We are so excited to meet her."
As the young adults care on for a conversation, Dana stood up to announce that the bride and groom are going to be doing their grand entrance soon.
Jake's cousin, Alessio is his best man. Dana met him at the microphone. As waiters brought the drinks around, Dana tapped her drink with her fork.
"Everyone, if I can please have your attention, I'd love to have you all welcome our newlywed couple, Mr. and Mrs. Jake and Danielle Rivers!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for the newlyweds as they made their grand entrance.
After the bride and groom got seated to get some salad, the waiters brought out salad for the guests and then everyone ordered their dinner, which had a steak or chicken, green bean casserole, and garlic bread.
After Dani and Jake ate their salads, they made their ways to the guests to thank them for coming to their wedding. As they were making their rounds, Dana began tapping her fork against the microphone.
"Everyone, if I can have your attention now, it's time for the maid of honor and best man speeches, so Jake and Dani, if you don't mind making your way back to your table, it's time to embarrass you to everyone in this room." She chuckles.
Dani and Jake look at each other before making their way back to their table. Once seated, Dana looks at the wedding guests.
"Hi everyone, if you don't know who I am, I'm Dana, I'm Danielle's sister. When she met Jake, I wasn't expecting her to fall that deep into him because she just got out of a three year relationship. But, somehow she told me that Jake was different." Dana laughs softly. "And, now they're happily married, and I couldn't imagine anyone else being her husband."
She looks at Dani. "Dani, you and I have been through thick and thin as we were born a year apart from each other. Dani, growing up with you was one of the best times ever. You have always been there for me and I couldn't picture anyone else being my sister. If I got anybody else, I'd want to go searching for you." Dana smiles, making Dani tear up.
Dani let Dana continue, even though tears were starting to burn through her eyes.
"I love you so much, sis, and all I want for you, is to be happy, and Jake makes you so damn happy. I watched you two grow to love each other and I can't wait to see what holds for you both. Together, you can do anything." She lifted her drink. "Cheers to new Mr. and Mrs. Rivers!"
"I love you." Dani mouths to her sister, and Dana mouths back the same thing before handing the microphone to Alessio.
After Alessio gives his speech, Dani and Jake have their first dance as husband and wife. It was the most beautiful dance they shared. When the newlyweds we're finished with their dance, the food was coming out for everyone to eat. Dani and Jake got back to their seats to be served first and then everyone followed.
Delilah looks at her cousin, Audrey. "How's your steak, Auds?" She asks.
Audrey looks up at her cousin before letting her know to give her a minute before she just swallowed a piece of her food.
"It's really good." Audrey says after had swallowed her food. "Baby girl's very happy."
Peyton smiles. "Good thing I made sure you had plenty of food before the wedding, huh?"
Audrey nods her head. "Yeah, thank you, babe." She grins at her husband.
After dinner was finished, the dancefloor was open for who wants to start dancing. The waiters went around clearing up everyone's tables before giving everyone a break before dessert.
It was around 6PM now, and the dancefloor was filled already and everyone was having a great night. Zack and Samantha danced with Dani and Jake before the cake was brought out.
By the end of the night, Dani threw her bouquet for the single ladies, and Dana caught it, making her blush deeply.
"God! You fucking kidding me?" Dana screamed, blushing deep red as she spot Cadence looking at her. "Shit, Danielle!" She shakes her head as she heads over to Cadence who smiles at her.
"Sorry!" Dani yells, laughing.
"Nice catch, Dana." He wraps his arm around her. "Hey, I'm just here as your date. Nothing is going on between us. You don't have to worry." He resures her.
Dana nods her head. "Okay, good, I was really worried." She laughs a little.
After that, it was Jake's turn. A chair was brought out for Dani to sit on and Jake did what he needed before standing up and pointing the garter to the young men, who were trying to stay out of the way.
When Jake shot the garter, it landed in Cadence's hands. With a huge blush on her face, Dani began shutting her eyes tightly and shaking her head.
"Fuck." Cadence whispers. Now being the ones who caught the bouquet and garter, Dana and Cadence stared a dance together.
"I hate you." Dana laughs, as she wraps her arms around Cadence's neck and his arms wrap around her waist. They start dancing together. "I hate you too." He chuckles.
Around 9, the bride and groom made their way out of the ballroom and headed to the honeymoon suite.
It was a wonderful day, now officially Mr. and Mrs. Rivers.
Now onto the next big adventure.
That's a wrap ladies and gentlemen! Dani's Baby will be out soon. 3 I just don't know when it will be put out. :)
