Our reception will begin with Bridal Party & Family Introductions, welcoming our favorite people into the celebration and officially kicking off the evening. Once everyone is settled, we’ll share a special dance to celebrate our marriage, followed by the bar reopening so guests can grab a drink and toast with us. During dinner, we’ll hear speeches from our mothers... a Parent Speech from the Mother of the Bride, Dawn Merz, and another Parent Speech from the Mother of the Groom, Johanna Lee. We’ll also enjoy two meaningful toasts from our Best Man, Ryan Marrero, and Maid of Honor, Mackenzie Spicer. After the first course is cleared, we’ll share two traditions: the Father/Daughter dance and the Mother/Son dance. We can’t wait to celebrate, laugh, dance, and make unforgettable memories with all of you!
