Hawkily Ever After: Celebration and Cigars

After getting some food in my belly and enjoying a few snaps in the photo booth, two of my college friends lured me to the dance floor to get the party started.

It wasn't long before more guests followed suit.

Notably missing from the floor? My new husband, of course. Having a celebration of their own, the boys took to the cigar bar.

But it wasn't long before a slow song or two came on and I was able to sway back and forth with my new hubby. And those, hands down, were the best moments of the night.
