the reception!

Catch up on the other posts in this series here! Preparations, rehearsal dinner, ceremony

The reception for my Aunt's wedding was held at a dear friend's house a few hours later, so us guests could shower and get all gussied up. (Thankfully; we were pretty gross!). Here are a few details:
The centerpieces we had worked on the day before looked so cute!  
Jen made her wedding cake and almost every.single.item on the dessert table. Everything else was contributed by family members. Lots of love went into that dessert table!
I still can't believe Jenny made this pretty cake. She didn't even get to cut it, but it sure was lovely!
Most of the contributions were from old family recipes. Lots of history there! 
In addition to all of these goodies, the reception was also catered by the Kogi BBQ truck. OH MY GOSH so delicious. This truck is so popular that neighbors walking dogs tried to sneak in and have some. They settled for finding out where the truck would be after the reception was over. SO funny!
First dance
Let the fun times roll! Lots of dancing, catching up, cocktails, dessert, and tacos.
This wasn't even staged. They're pretty cute, huh?
Our friend Joe (who met the bride and groom at OUR wedding and has been "in" since!) and brother Devon.
The four cousins: Devon, Jack, Sydney, and me 
Sydney was the child charmer. They adored her.  She told them she lived in China.

After a long and incredibly fun evening, we called it a night. It was a night to remember for a LONG TIME. 
Congratulations, Mr & Mrs Lloyd!

the wedding on Hollywood Hill

These crazy kids are MARRIED!!!
{Get ready; this is a photo HEAVY post!}
The ceremony was held on Mount Hollywood attended by family and close friends who dared to brave the 30 minute hike. I hiked up with my cousins (including Sydney from Korea!!!). It was overcast but warm enough to break a sweat. 
My "baby brother" is all grown up!
Brother Devon and his girlfriend Adri 
Adri, Devon, Cousin Jack, and Tim (and the Hollywood sign!)
Tired! (Cousin Sydney and I; Syd's going to KILL me!)
The guests awaiting the bride and groom
The wedding party and family that could not hike up was bussed up to the ceremony site. They got to stay looking pretty :)
Best Dog Tommy and his Handler Uncle David, being greeted by Jon the groom! 
A pensive Jon. He's getting married! 
Jen is escorted to the site by my grandparents, Aida and John. 
My grandparents and Jon's parents stood by as Jen and Jon said "I do".
LA City Councilmember Tom LaBonge officiated the ceremony, and we would find out he called in a few favors to make the ceremony more "exciting"! 
 They do!


 
 
 Now for the surprise! Right after they were introduced as Mr. & Mrs. Jon Lloyd, the ceremony site received not one but TWO flyovers from LAPD hellicopters! Tom LaBonge gave them a call 10 minutes before and said "if you happen to be in the area...!". They wished the bride and groom well by swooping low multiple times and cheering. Never in the history of LA has two flyovers happened. You made history, Jen!
Wave hello to the hellicopters!
They came so close! 
 It was such a fun surprise.
