So we had mini ice cream cones passed out on the dance floor.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796928\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/8b\/85\/8b852fd37fbfc026.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796929\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a5\/9e\/a59e6984ec938873.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796949\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/13\/61\/1361b48d143134af.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796950\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/4e\/e3\/4ee307fd1e276482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796952\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/f5\/63\/f563ccaea975b158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796953\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/bf\/5e\/bf5e929d8868e6f6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796954\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/5d\/8d\/5d8dc417a22df731.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796955\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/23\/38\/2338c3b956a079a4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Recommended Reading:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/showstopping-reception-dresses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">30 Showstopping Wedding Reception Dresses to Dance the Night Away In<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796956\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/b5\/63\/b5630ec95ea70f73.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796958\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/35\/4f\/354f1fe78ccbe2bb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-796957\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/4a\/03\/4a0322f0378397b5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"goldbox\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Wedding Team:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photography &ndash;
