Final Wedding Event: The Reception

Last night was the final wedding event for Jimmy & Pavan's wedding: The Reception!!

Oh, what a night! In one word: Massive!

The reception was held at The Asateer Tent the Atlantis The Palm Hotel on the Palm Jurmeirah Cresscent.

The reception was nothing short of amazing and gorgeous. The decorations/lighting/design of the "tent" were just gorgeous! There were enormous peacock flower arrangements, crystals, and chandeliers everywhere!

Of course, I took many, many photos - they don't quite do it all justice, but they will help convey the enormity of the event.

They had a photo booth (white screen backdrop) with lots of props that took digital photos which were automatically printed and sent to you. We had a ton of fun!


Group Silliness!


I think the Dubai lifestyle is starting to rub off on me..... ;)

They also had the rickshaw (which rode Jimmy to the ceremony in the morning on display and available to take photos

The Cake

Soon after dinner and cake, the music was pumped up, the drummers started to drum, and the dancing started again..... and we got even more silly. :)
