The Cincinnati Club did a fabulous job. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, the service the night of was great, and our guests loved all the little special touches you get there. Aside from a few menu-related snafus, everything went very smoothly. If you're using the club, I would highly recommend using the Oak room, however, so that you have an actual bar to serve drinks from, instead of just a table. That was one of the few things i was very disappointed in.
The venue and details
A few non-pro pics of the reception room set up
The new Mr. and Ms.
H was soooooo nervous waiting to walk in to the main room. According to him, having all of our guests staring so expectantly at him was the most surreal moment of his life...
Our first dance
We went straight into our first dance when we were introduced - Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight." Between the two of us, we have at least 3 left feet, and we were only able to fit in three dance lessons, so we're not quite sure how good the foxtrot actually looked, but at least we had fun. :)
Had to throw in these non-pro pics, just because I love the motion in them, and because they show the nifty dip we did at the end:
Our dads doing what they do best - chatting up the crowd! ;)
The Toasts: one made us laugh, and one made us cry.
The Parent Dances
My father and I danced to "I Love her First" by Heartland (apparently it was quite popular, several other soon to be FOBs came up to him afterward to get the name from him); H and his mother danced to Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World."
Let's get this party started!
And lest I forget, our own special good luck charm: the witch's circle
