Rehearsal Day and Rehearsal Dinner

Sept 6th was our son's wedding. ...so happy for that special day and for the family and friends that were able to attend. 

Today, I will be sharing a few photos of that Rehearsal day and Rehearsal dinner. And next week, I will share a little sewing I was able to get done for the wedding.

Love this view of our son, taken by our older daughter (Girly~Twirly), who is one of the wedding party.

It was a gorgeous day, gorgeous weather...a preview of the gorgeous wedding day at historical Locust Grove, Kentucky.

 

Our little granddaughter "Bunny" and Papa...

This was taken at the Rehearsal dinner at Captain's Quarters. After a delicious dinner, a fun game our daughters facilitated to see if the bride and groom were on the same page...regarding questions like: Who is the better driver...

or Who takes the longest to get ready?

Each one held in one hand one of their own shoes and in the other hand - one of the other's shoes. And they had to raise the shoe of the one they thought was the best answer to the questions...  "...if the shoe fits..." 

And then the bride to be's family and two of her bridesmaids read aloud poems to the couple that they each created for them.

Next, the bridesmaids and both moms were each given a beautiful necklace to wear for the wedding...and the little flower girl (our grandbaby) got a little necklace too.

And the groomsmen were given each a pair of suspenders, a bow tie (I sewed these, so was happy that they all fit :o), and a pocket watch to wear with their suits.

It was a wonderful time to relax and enjoy the evening.

Sweet little flower girl found the floor vent and thought it was so fun to stand on it! Here she is striking her "little marilyn monroe pose".

 ...and my hubby watching our granddaughter laughing as her dress blows up around her.

...my dad with his great-granddaughter.

And at the end of the night, group photos as the wedding party and family leave.

I wish we had taken them with the couples in each family photo.
