Wedding Part 1: Rehearsal Dinner

Now that Todd & I are back from our honeymoon, I'm hoping to get my life back under control and get back to blogging on a more consistent basis. With that being said, my next few posts are going to be wedding-related, starting with our rehearsal dinner.

Our rehearsal started at 5:30 PM on Friday, August 19 at St. Joan of Arc Church and of course, as soon as people were pulling in the parking lot, it started pouring down rain. I honestly hadn't seen it rain this hard in a long time and it seemed to stop as soon as everyone got into the church. Needless to say, a lot of people were soaking wet, especially Todd who was going out to help people in with an umbrella.

Despite the rain, the rehearsal went off without a hitch and I was so excited for our actual wedding the next day.

Todd picked out his outfit himself and it matched our wedding colors perfectly

Immediately following the rehearsal at the church, our bridal party, parents, siblings, and grandmothers headed a few miles down the road for our rehearsal dinner at Luce. The food was outstanding, the wine was great, and everyone had a really good time. All in all, it was a perfect evening to kick off our wedding festivities.
