I’m Baaaaack!

in Smart Life

I’m back! Between wedding weekend, a 2-day drive from Wisconsin to New York, and doing much of my unpacking, I haven’t had a spare minute to blog.

We should be getting our professional wedding pictures back in a week or two, so I think I’m going to make you wait until then to do my own recap of the wedding. Until then, you can read Heather’s recaps of both the ceremony and reception, and check out our preview pictures from our photographer!

Oh, and as an additional side note, I realize that Tea Week was never fully completed, and I promise I will finish it after I finish my recap posts. :)

Until then, onto the recap of…

Our Rehearsal Dinner

My parents came into town on Friday night so that they could go to the Farmer’s Market with me on Saturday morning. We bought all of the flowers for the wedding there… loved having all local, in-season flowers!

Then, it was off to the museum for the rehearsal!

Clearly, I was excited to be there. ;)

My mom showed flower girl Marrisa, Dan’s niece, how she should walk down the aisle. We had her walk straight towards Uncles Dan and Josh, then sit down by her mom in the front row. Worked perfectly!

We decided that the guys would all be waiting up front when the bridesmaids walked down, rather than walking down in pairs with the girls.

The girls all practiced walking down so that we could figure out the timing of the processional. Dan made 9 different versions of our processional songs, of all different lengths, so we could figure out which one would work the best!

And of course, we had to practice the kiss. ;)

We walked over to the Great Dane on Capitol Square for dinner and gift-giving! Dan gave all the guys their ties for the next days, while the girls got purses and Marrisa got bracelets to wear on Sunday.

We had a blast on Saturday night, but Sunday was even more fun! :)

Julie I LOVE the preview pictures – you are such a beautiful bride (not that there was any doubt, haha). Have you checked out any of the veg places in Ithaca yet? :)
