The Rehearsal Dinner

The rehearsal dinner was a bit of a different story than the bridal luncheon. Not because of the people. The people were FANTASTIC!

This is most of the wedding party---

It's always a big plus when the in-law family are so funny and friendly and lovable and we're very blessed in this area! This is the bride and groom with the groom's grandmother. She is a pure delight!

The down side was the place. And y'all know I tend towards the brutally honest so---

The rehearsal dinner was held at the Coleman Public House here in Mount Pleasant. If these crazy kids appear to be glistening, it's because they're sweating.

The room they put us in was a FURNACE. And it wasn't that hot outside. It was on the far side of the restaurant and sort of resembled a sun porch. Most of the blinds were closed but the heat was ridiculous. Even people who are usually cold-natured were burning up. But that didn't stop the crazy. Because, you know, it's our family...:)

It was cooler outside than it was in that room.

The food? Meh. Nothing to talk about. It didn't err of the side of good or bad. It was merely mediocre. Except for the fries. Haha

That's my brother, step-mother and Dad. I think we lost count at how many times we sent my brother back for those fries.



No memorable tastes to report. However, the fun and laughter and conversation...THAT was memorable! And enough to null and void the heat and lacking of the food.

That's Deanie and her sweet BF--remember him? He's the drummer for The Wild Feathers. We're so glad he was able to be here for the wedding!

That's Mackenzine (Birdie's BFF since they were 3 years old and maid of honor). Everyone is having a blast with the fact that she's holding two beers in her hands. She was holding one for Birdie but the comments have been hilarious! See all that sun shining into that room?

That's my sweetwonderful/terrific/perfect Son-In-Law!

The groom's sister, aunt and uncle. That's a groomsman in the background. And the   sunlight.

Still hot. That's the groom's mom front/right.

A few wedding party members. Sweating. In the sunlight.

Welcome and Thanks from the bride and groom. Sun still shining.

Yep. Wedding festivities = Good Times. Even when it's hot and the food is mediocre. Because it's about the people- the friends and the family, old and new. That's what makes these occasions special. That's what matters over anything and everything else.

In this way, we are truly blessed!
