Our reception was held at the Marriott of Fort Collins in the outdoor Pavilion. The temperature was perfect that day! The pavilion is in the shade of the hotel and they had ceiling fans, so there wasn't too much of a worry of overheating. Although we didn't have to worry about rain because it was covered and the sides could be brought down, we got lucky and had the only sunny Saturday the entire summer!
What really made the party was Neil Carlberg and his wife who own Too Much Fun DJ Services. They were a blast and knew how to keep the party going. He was also great on the mic!

Guests waiting for us to arrive at the reception so they could throw birdseed at us.
More guests lining up for the pelting.
Birdseed hurts!
I got a ton of it stuck in my dress! We felt bad for whoever had to clean our hotel room the next day.
Our head table! Now before you flame me for it, it was what our wedding party wanted. We had 16 people at our head table that included our wedding party (including guestbook attendant) and their spouses (or best friend in one case). We were going to have a baby there as well, but my bridesmaid and her husband decided to leave him with his grandparents for the day.
The Marriott set up vases for all of the bridesmaids (and me) to put the bouquets in. They even made sure the glass beads in the bottom matched the wedding colors.
All the people! We had 110 people at the reception. It was the perfect amount for the pavilion. There were enough to fill it up, but there was still plenty of space.
We hosted a couple different wines and a microbrew (mmmmm, Fat tire). Sorry pretty drink people, you had to pay cash.
Our first dance was Moon River sung by Frank Sinatra
My father and I danced to Love Without End Amen by George Strait
After the bestman's toast.
My father finished his toast with "Live long and prosper." It was awesome.
Cleaning off the cake.
My Aunt claims that when I was at her wedding (I was two) I stained her dress with a strawberry. So here she is trying to get me back!
I loved my dress.

DH was suppose to be making a serious face at them, FAIL

Garter toss
Bouquet toss. Notice the two bridesmaids in the back battle for prime catching spots.
Check out the air the girl in the purple got!
This is DH cousin-to-be. Her fiance wouldn't agree to a date, so she made him a deal: if she caught the bouquet, they would set a date. That girl caught it and they are getting married this July!
Neil (the DJ) brought out all these awesome hats for the YMCA

Our reception was held at the Marriott of Fort Collins, CO.
Glow sticks in action!
Phew! What a party, I was tired and my feet were so very sore that night, but it was so much fun!
