Finally onto our rehearsal!! The day before our wedding on May 20th, we had the rehearsal at our church. I want to give a special thanks to Kyle for taking all these pictures during the rehearsal!
As I already wrote, me and the ladies had some nice afternoon
Mani/pedis with a side of Champagne near my house. Afterward, we went back to my place and had just enough time to quickly change and head over to the church for our 7:00pm rehearsal. We were greeted by all our closest friends and their significant others at the church.
We first talked with Father Dulaney and walked through a bit of the ceremony.

After we went over some things, it was time to start our full on rehearsal and I lined up our bridal party. Remember the
tissue paper flowers I made in this post? Well, I did take what many of you suggested and made little bouquets for my bridesmaids to carry down the aisle for the rehearsal.

I love this picture of all the girls holding their tissue paper flower bouquets. I used these again the next day for decor at the house.
Here's me with my awesome tissue paper bouquet that bridesmaid Cassie made for me at my
Bridal Shower
Then it was my turn to walk down the aisle with both Dad AND Mom!
We listened to the readers to their thang:

The boys were very serious:
I
love this picture: Me looking wistfully into the church, Chris looking
at me, and his brother smugly looking at us in the background.
The rehearsal continues...do you? do you? Then this, then that...yadda yadda...something funny happened here...

And we're done!

After the rehearsal we hung around for a bit all catching up, talking to Father Dulaney and making sure everything was set before we headed off to our rehearsal dinner!!

actually grew up in the same neighborhood and know a lot of the same people! |

This is fun reliving this. I like the pic of me and dad sitting at our seats in the church. If you notice my feet are blurry. That's because I was swinging them back and forth because they didn't touch the floor. Too funny.
I can't even begin to imagine the nerves you must have been feeling! The pictures look great though!
How awesome that you got to run through the entire thing like that! Our priest didn't even attend the rehearsal, which I still to this day think is completely ridiculous, especially since he mad a couple mistakes.
The church is beautiful! I think the rehearsal is one of the things that I am dreading the most and only because I don't want to get all emotional, haha! I hate crying in front of people! Love the pictures and I love the makeshift bouquets!
I looove the tissue paper bouquets! So cute!
How cute are the tissue bouquets!! :)
Totally wore white to rehearsal too.
You have so many good pics to document!
I always thought rehearsals were boring and what not..this looks fun!!
What great pics! Looks like you had such a fun wedding party!! :) I hope people will focus at ours and pay attention and are not gabbing the whole time! hehe.
Aww love these pics, you look like how I felt, thoughtful and concentrating.
