Dave and Lauren's Reception

Before I got sick, Ryan and I attended a wedding reception for our good friends, Dave and Lauren. It was held at a beautiful historic home in Winter Park called Casa Feliz, which had been moved from its original location across the street in order to preserve it years ago. It is this gorgeous old mansion with exposed brick walls, garden courtyards and lots of cool character for being an older home.
We all met at Eola Wine Company to start the evening and then headed over to Casa Feliz for some heavy hors d'oeuvres, live music and great conversation with friends. The decor was beautiful, with rich brown table clothes and pops of orange throughout. Since Dave and Lauren had already held a smaller wedding reception after their ceremony, they didn't do any traditional wedding "rituals" like cutting a cake or the first dance, but it was still a beautiful night and lots of fun.

After the party, a bunch of folks headed back over to Park Avenue and went to a new night club/bar called Circa. I finally got Ryan to dance with me and we had a blast!Of course, we couldn't end the night without a few self-portraits.
