September 23, 2018. Ancaster, Ontario. Wedding Reception.

First off, no one serves fruit cake at weddings anymore in Canada. Three tier cake covered with lovely roses surrounded by bees was served. The cake was chocolate. The bride and groom did the traditional cutting of the cake. It that was the only traditional part of the wedding reception. The whole event was great sport. The reception was held in a local brew pup. The whole place was taken over by the wedding party. The first floor which held the bar also included a table loaded with appetizers. For an hour, we were meeting and greeting. Prior to that, pictures were taken at the park, the same place where the wedding should have been held. Yesterday, the weather was perfect so the family pictures would be beautiful too. After the main floor hour of beer and wine, we climber the stairs for dinner. Nothing traditional was done. The meal was served family style, where mounds of food bowls were placed in front of every table. In between the main course and dessert, speeches were given. Every person in the bridal party made brief and funny speeches, along with the parents. The whole event was casual and people enjoyed themselves. Most importantly, the bride and groom had a good time. I have never attended a wedding reception in a brew pub but it worked just fine. The reception was fun and festive. Katey and Brock were married in style.
