our rehearsal dinner was fabulous
Jared's parents really went all out to make the night wonderful
it was held at a local Wilmington restaurant on Wrightsville Beach, The Oceanic
the only mishap of the entire evening was getting from the actual rehearsal to the dinner
Wilmington traffic can be awful, but our rehearsal day it seemed to be at its worst
[I'm talking building on fire and traffic lights out on the busiest streets]
most of the wedding party got stuck in the traffic and were late to the rehearsal
but the most memorable part, Jared had to get gas, his phone was dead, and he was riding alone
turns out he was over 30 minutes late to the dinner
never fear, Jared's parents were great hosts and kept everything going smooth
our photographer joined us for the rehearsal and dinner
she was able capture some really fun moments from it all
best part, she took formal family pictures for mine and Jared's families
yep, she is freaking awesome
our sweet flower girl and ring bearer
they loved getting to high-five with the groom at the end of the aisle
played rock, paper, scissors to see who got to do their vows first
I won and chose to go first :)
how gorgeous is that view?
love my sweet family
classic totem pose with the brothers
such a lucky lady to have these men give me away
our cousins
were all six months apart from our counterpart
how adorable are my grandparents?
Hawkins giving his epic speech
Uncle J giving his speech
Bunn telling the story I told him not to
my reaction to that story
my sweet mom had some very kind words
best man, Chris Chinn, gave a heck of speech too
my bridesmaid, Meghan, made the sweetest slideshow for us
last "single" kiss before we became husband and wife
and Jared almost dropped me...
then this happened...
GO Pack!
