Rehearsal

Wow! Where do I begin? The wedding was absolutely THE most amazing day ever! I guess I will start with the rehearsal. It went very smooth. Our officiant, Robin Barnes McCarthy, did an amazing job facilitating the whole thing.

The Bridal Party
Mandy, Becky, Leighton, Zach, Lauren, Brooklyn, Jason, Melissa, Me, Rob, Rachel, Ari, Jim, Kala, Jaxson, Emily, and Maddie!

Thank-you for this picture Mandy!

Afterwards we went to Gordon Biersch Brewery for the rehearsal dinner. The kids couldn't come so I rented the bowling alley at the ACC out for them to bowl and eat pizza. This is pictures before the rehearsal started. The kids were hanging out in the restaurant at the ACC waiting patiently for bowling

Mathew, Michael, Shelby, Maddie, and Tyler

 Me, Shannon being crazy, and Lois

 Cutest family- Maddie, Emily and Ike

Debbie Proud (longtime friends of Marla and Bob's) made a slide show to play at the rehearsal dinner. It was wonderful! I don't think there was a dry eye in the whole place. I've been trying to upload the slideshow to this page for days and it just isn't working. If I figure it out I will add it to this post. For now here are some pictures from the rehearsal dinner (not very good quality because I only had my Iphone):

Rob dropped me off back at the ACC for our final night unmarried where I spent the night with my Mom. I got to visit with some friends and family that were staying at the ACC that I hadn't seen in awhile. Kasi, Zack, Jammie, and Amy, who traveled from Kentucky and Indiana. It was also nice to see my step-sister, Shannon, and her 3 boys Michael, Mathew, and Tyler, who traveled all the way from Florida. Rob and I feel so lucky and blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family that traveled near and far for our wedding.  As soon as I get more wedding pictures I will finish my wedding post and publish it!
