Ice Cream Social

This should wrap up my wedding post. The last of the wedding events happened this weekend in Corpus. JR’s parents hosted a reception for all the family and friends that weren’t able to attend the wedding. There was a great turnout and it was so nice to get to meet all the wonderful people that B will be sharing her life with. Paula, JR’s mom did a wonderful job pulling everything together. The reception was an ice cream social, so as guest arrived they were invited to go through the line and make up their own creation and the topping options were endless. It was really fun to watch so many people who might normally feel that all the sugar was taboo, have the time of their lives. We got to choose between a myriad of waffle bowls. They were dipped in chocolate and coated in a variety of coatings ranging from nuts, to sprinkles, or coconut. I chose the conservative options so my treat consisted of a waffle bowl dipped in chocolate; coated in nuts; filled with two large scoops of chocolate Bluebell ice cream on top of a chocolate chip brownie, sprinkled with chocolate morsels, covered in hot chocolate syrup; sprayed with whipped topping, and topped with a cherry. Yes, I did say conservative! Needless to say it was a wonderful evening! Visiting and making new friends was quite enjoyable. We came home from a weekend spent with the newlyweds blessed by how good God has been to them, and how grateful they are.
