I'm really onto movie songs right now. If you're friends with me personally- you know that my ALL TIME FAVORITE TV/movie experience is when everyone breaks into song and dance. Case in point- Glee is one of the best things to happen to me. Besides the movie Hairspray and Mr. SE.
That being said- our exit from War Memorial has been one that perplexed me. The steps are lovely, and quite grand, and we needed something that held up to the grandeur of those marble beauties. I love the idea of ribbon wands (please don't smirk at me Mr. SE), they just won't work in the dark. So yes, I had to submit. I didn't want to do it- and I certainly kicked my heels. We will be using sparklers. Do they look great in photos? Of course. Am I terrified of our intoxicated friends torching my dress? Heck yes.
But alas, they make beautiful photos. And isn't that what it's all about? Here's some photographic proof...

And will we be exiting to a Lamborghini? Sorry Mr SE. A horse drawn carriage? Sweet but stinky. Classy vintage sedan? Not this time. My handsome husband and I will be spending our first night as Mr. and Mrs. at The Hermitage Hotel. It's only 1/2 block from War Memorial, so we'll be walking there! I think it'll be so cute for us to make the little walk together. All the while saving several hundred on a limo!
What do you think of the sparkler exit? Did you do something special to exit your reception venue? Ooh- and if you did use sparklers, where did you get them? I'm looking for a bargain, friends!
