Rehearsal Dinner

So the Rehearsal Dinner was on Saturday! I think it went really well, but that's just me. The ceremony's really short, which is probably good since Seth gets impatient easily. My one concern is knowing when I can start walking because I can't hear the music very well from inside the house. Oh well - we'll figure it out. I'm thinking I may have my friend Megan just signal me to start walking.

So anyway, people arrived at the house between 3:30 and 4:30, so we got a bit of a late start, but that was okay. Seth's Dad and Step-Mom brought delicious food that they put in the oven to keep warm. Once everyone was there, we hung out for a little bit, set up the chairs outside, showed the photography (a good work friend of mine) where everything was happening, and had people take their seats. Then our DJ (another good friend and my Maid of Honor's fiance) set up the music and Seth and his Best Man and the officiant took their spots. My Maid of Honor and I went inside and waited for the music to start.

My Maid of Honor is walking to "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach and I'm walking to "Canon in D" by Pachebel. I did have to yell at people to stand up while I was walking which was funny. Then I got to Seth and my Maid of Honor had to remind me to hand her my flowers. Then we had to figure out when to get the rings from our Best Man and Maid of Honor so we'd have them for the vows. It was fun. I think I need to figure out a recessional song though because we at least walk back up the steps together.

After we rehearsed, then we had dinner which was delicious! My parents had brought beer and wine and the wine was sooo good. It was a really fun night and people seemed to get along pretty well. All in all, a success!
