Sarah and Terry's Reception

Last August Sarah and Terry were married in an intimate ceremony. On Valentine's Day they celebrated their marriage amongst family and friends at the Carousell Works in Big Lake. The event center was decorated in red and white, very fitting for Valentine's Day, but the colors wore actually chosen long before the Valentine's reception was thought of.

Sarah and Terry's wedding was originally planned for October of 2008, but an unexpected twist in life change that. In late July 2008 Sarah was diagnosed with cancer so all of their wedding plans were adjusted. (you can read more about their wedding day here)

By the time Valentine's Day rolled around Sarah was officially in remission- cancer free. So not only were their family and friends celebrating their marriage, but also Sarah's health. It was a true celebration.


I have to admit that my eyes swelled up when Sarah and Terry first arrived at the reception. Both of them looked fabulous and were so happy. The whole room light up.
In memory of Sarah's father that passed away, some members of her family drank a Schlitz beer (his favorite).
