Our Rehearsal Dinner

........ The eve of our wedding! This day was the most calm I was the entire week.  Just knowing that everything was done.. well, everything was gonna happen whether it was done how I wanted or not, and there was nothing I could OR WANTED to do about it. -However I did make the reception playlist at 11PM.

Remember the "Proposal Frame"? How cute was it for his aunt to make the YES! in stones?!


My handsome Groom and myself after the big dinner!  
I just wish I could have had an appetite to really enjoy the dinner.  A stomach can shrink so easily if you just go a couple of days without a eating much.  It was crazy cause this girl LOVES to eat.  I never weighed myself, but I'm guessing I lost about 4-5lbs just in that week.  I say that because my dress was SO loose the next day.

For the dinner, my in-laws had Southern Sisters cater.  We were served some awesome awesome homecooked food! True traditional "southern" food: Hamburger steak and gravy (my dads fav meal of all times!), mashed potatoes, green beans, macaroni and cheese, salad, and bread (served with butter smothered in molasses--ahhhhh!!!!) In the south doin it right ya'll! haha.

They did a beautiful job on the tablescape and Andrew's grandmother, Flo, did all of the flower arrangements.  Beautiful. I really hate it that I didn't have a clear brain to take pictures of all of it for you to see.
