Jan. 1st is typically just another day in the calendar for me but my 2017 ended pretty special because of my cousin's wedding - which also means a gathering with my extended family.
There were two receptions, one at home and another one on New Year's eve at a banquet hall. We attended both ceremonies. The picture you could see up there was the wedding dais set up for the event at home (sorry, couldn't get a better angle - my aunts were too busy chit chatting right in the center and I didn't feel like interrupting their chat 
).
I'd be off to another state about 4 hours away later this afternoon and would spend the entire weekend there with the family. So that's another exciting thing I'm looking forward to before getting back into my work routine on Monday.
Hope everyone's in high spirits after the holidays and all. Or are you still not over the holiday mood yet?

Hope you enjoyed it though! So I suppose you're back into your normal days routine, that's good to know.

Good to hear that you enjoyed two reception parties and now you are going to spend your weekend with the family.
I did not get such an opportunity.

Haha well that's much better than suffering from post-2017 or post-holiday withdrawal!

Thank you! Yeah the dais is almost a must at weddings here, some like it simple, some more elaborate but I think the one they had was lovely.

I just recovered from a post-vacation withdrawal, it was a pretty similar feeling.
