The ceremony was held at Cedar Creek Winery, but after that they all headed back to Manteo Resort for a fun, funny and emotional reception. The speeches were particularly memorable. The bride's sister gave the funniest speech I have ever heard.

If one thing is obvious, it's that this wedding was emotional
