VP Joe Biden showed off some moves at his daughter Ashley's wedding<http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20600349,00.html> to Philadelphia surgeon Howard Krein on Saturday, joining in on the Hora, the traditional Jewish wedding dance.

The reception "was very lively," a guest told PEOPLE from the tented back lawn of the Biden family home in Wilmington, Del. "The dancing went past midnight."

After the joint Catholic-Jewish church service earlier in the day, Ashley, 31, pulled her long brunette curls into a ponytail for the reception.

In addition to the Vice President's dance moves, the 200 guests were treated to a four-tiered confection by local baker - and former co-worker of Dr. Jill Biden - Liz Marden<http://lizmarden.com/>, who layered white chocolate mousse and Swiss raspberry jam between vanilla and chocolate cake layers, all covered in vanilla buttercream.

Jill Biden, a teacher who worked at Delaware Tech Community College when Marden was instructing baking and pastry programs, specially ordered the whimsical bird cake toppers. "They represent family - and go with what Ashley wanted, which was a simple wedding with more of a cottage style to it," says Marden.

To top off the evening, the newlyweds' family and close friends were fortified by a late-night snack of Philly-style soft pretzels with homemade dipping mustards
