Rehearsal Dinner

The weather was beautiful for our rehearsal, so we practiced outside with hopes that we could still do the ceremony outside on Saturday.

We ran through it a couple of times and then also practiced inside.

After we finished rehearsing we had a delicious Italian dinner followed by my favorite dessert - a brownie with chocolate icing and strawberries on top.

The beautiful set-up for dinner

We stayed and partied for a while. Christy Colgan (my maid of honor)'s husband, Jonathan, brought his speaker set up and two of my other bridesmaids, Brenna and Allison, made a great dinner mix of music followed by some party music. And of course a party wouldn't be a party without some drinking games so we had to blow up balloons for slam and pop! This is a crazy, fun game that was created at Chad's 30th birthday party.

It was definitely a great start to the weekend of celebrating.
