Rehearsal Dinner

We spent the morning hauling things to the church, setting up tables, and decorating for the reception and rehearsal dinner. It was a little hectic early on, but once we got into a groove everything came together beautifully. The rehearsal dinner was lovely and we all enjoyed the slide show (and the food).

My new sister-in-law! I'm so happy to have Serena joining the family! She is wonderful and I look forward to getting to know her better.
After the rehearsal dinner we had to finish up a few of the tables to get them ready for the reception the next day.
We were polishing the candle holder, but then couldn't get it back together. The Kevin's had to step in and help us out. I think it ended up taking a couple more people, but eventually they did it.
With the hot temps outside it got a little warm inside as well. We were trying to locate a few people when we stumbled upon them in the walk in fridge listening to music.
Cheese!
There were so many people helping and it was wonderful having a chance to catch up with those who we hadn't seen in years!
After we finished up at the church Kevin's brothers and few friends were headed out for a bit. It was fantastic to be able to just sit, laugh, talk, and relax. It has been so long since we've all had a chance to go out together and we had so much fun. I thought it warranted another collage.
