Picking up where Part A left off!
Kat and Thomas’s reception was held at Felicia Suzanne’s, located in downtown Memphis.
First things first: This is the wedding reception for the (IMHO) Queen of local desserts and her Eat Local Memphis husband – the food was going to be GOOD. Want to see the desserts table? All desserts from Muddy’s, of course! Gentle reader, I sampled these desserts so I could report back on their deliciousness – just for you. Everything was delectable!
rhubarb lemon bundt cake
tower of mini lemon and vanilla cupcakes
mini Pucker Up (lemon) cake as the “wedding cake” – glitter heart!
yummy cherry heart cookies
♥baby strawberry balsamic pies♥
Chocolate chess pie
lemon thyme butter cookies
Charming hand-written signs by the bride herself
thumbprint cookies
peach pie
Even the little ones had pretty little drinks to sip on!
Wedding cake!
You can take the girl out of the bakery, but you can’t take the bakery out of the girl – Kat, slicing up desserts for wedding guests

And now, there shall be dancing! First dance as a married couple, father-daughter dance, mother-son dance, free for all, line dancing. ALL THE DANCING!
*dance break for a little peppermint ice cream*
♥ Heart sunglasses kicked the fun factor up another notch ♥

I thought the yellow rain boots were such an iconic part of Kat’s wedding weekend attire, that ending on a shot of her boots filled with giant pink flowers was quite appropriate
I really hope that these photos were able to convey how much happiness – and, well, FUN, was felt and had by all who were a part of Kat and Thomas’s wedding celebration. And that all the rain that came down that weekend truly does indicate the amount of luck Kat and Thomas will have during their married life. (Because that “luck” came down by the buckets!)
♥♥♥
Oh, my bride that day arrived in yellow rain boots, with her “eat cake for breakfast” tote. I like where this is going.
And a pink wedding dress? Yep. Kat was 100% “herself” as a bride!
Kat and her sweet mom, Jan. Love this mother of the bride!

So. Cute.
And this is probably why one of their nephews had asked his mom the night before if Kat and Thomas are adults! “Oh. I didn’t know that” was his response when his mother said that Kat and Thomas are, in fact, adults. They have as much fun as the kids do!
Nieces and nephews, all gussied up
