Melissa & Nick had their wedding reception at the Kansas State University Alumni Center in Manhattan, KS. The Bride and Groom recently graduated from KSU Veterinary School. It was a very medically minded family: the sister of the Bride just graduated from KU Medical School, a brother of the Groom was in residency for Anesthesiology and a younger brother will be started Vet School in the fall!
Melissa & Nick also asked their guests to help them name the farm that they recently bought. The escort cards were adorable! They were homemade cards with butterfly paper and they were hung from two trees.
Apart from all the great photobooth pictures, the most interesting part of the evening was a party crasher. Take note: the Alumni Center in on the KSU campus. During the cocktail hour, I spotted a man who seemed awfully underdressed for the occasion: Bright orange t-shirt, worn khaki shorts, and sandals with socks that didn’t match. He walked through the room, making a bee-line for the appetizers, grabbed a mojito (their signature drink), and talked to no one. Interesting… When he started writing on the framed picture of the Bride and Groom that guests were writing notes of congratulations, I wondered if he was even a guest. And as soon as he entered, he fled the building, Mojito in hand.
Later, they displayed the picture of the Bride and Groom and we found what he wrote: “Just a stranger passing through. I saw a lot going on and decided to check it out. Thanks for the free snacks and booze.” And he signed it with his email address.
Isn’t the point of a party crasher to go unnoticed? Take the free snacks and drinks, if you must. But don’t write on the picture of the Bride and Groom! They actually wanted to keep that. Nice.
Check out these great pictures taken by guests who were actually invited…
