These are out of order because I went through and I named the people in it because I wanted to be able to remember who is who 20 years down the road and I wanted my kids to be able to at least know the names of the people. There will be several pictures from Margaritaville (when they have balloons on their heads) and I was not there. That was the rehearsal dinner after party, I was with the girls at the bachelorrete party. Also all these photos are stolen from my Aunt Betsy.
Caroline, on top of everything else, hosted the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at her house. I do not have any pictures of the rehearsal but I have several from the actual dinner. We had Chicken salad, pulled pork, sea food alfredo, Bonnie brie and other appetizers.
The rehearsal dinner went wonderfully. Everyone mingled and seemed to really enjoy the time together. Our rehearsal dinner was extremely important because it was the first time my parents and family got to meet Brian's Mom and family. All these people were coming to the wedding and they didn't know anyone else other then a few people so our rehearsal dinner was more then something to do because people do it.
It was a very low key rehearsal which was perfect for us. On top of no one knowing each other, basically, they were all coming from out of town and anything but low key would have been way too much. I think I did a good job of mingling with them all and making sure I talked with everyone....but to be honest the weekend is becoming a blur.
Oh and just to write this down for memories sake, Mommy was making the bouquets and boutonnieres out front during the first part of the rehearsal and greeted the guests.
On to pictures!

We had a blast! Brian's family was there however they had to leave earlier then expected which is why there are no pictures of them. We missed them but we were very glad they were able to come for even a short time.
While everyone was enjoying Margaritaville the girls and I were enjoying desert at a near by restaurant called Travinia's. While there we ran into Chuck, Tammy, Lynn, Joan and others from home! They were very generous and got us a round of drinks to go with our desert! I was floored!
