Rehearsal Dinner

4-16-2010




Mrs. Chris arranged for our rehearsal dinner to be at the same restaurant---Black Angus---and in the same room where Russell and I got engaged. We even sat at the same table. That was so neat!



Groom & Best Man
Bride & Maid of Honor



Lydia & me! I love my sis!




Looks like a proud Dad!



For being so exhausted after running errands all day long and then scrambling to get dressed and look presentable, Russell and I were surprised at the energy we had when we arrived at the rehearsal dinner. It was a LOT of fun! There were tons of cameras flashing.


We went from table to table snapping pictures and enjoying the fellowship of family and friends.
Weddings are such fun!


Mom & Dad


Aunt Erica, who made our wedding cake, and Mom.


Russell & Ryan, our ring bearer.


Me & Jason, my cousin.


Russell & Uncle Tim, Jewel's (our flower girl) dad.


Papa & the happy bride-to-be!


Russell with his parents.


I was glad a few family members could make it to the wedding. Grandma wasn't able to come down from NY because of her health, but Opa came, and Uncle Jan & Aunt Judy arranged their vacation around the wedding just so they could be in attendance. That was so nice!


Russell with Pastor Keenan, who has had a tremendous impact on his life and whose excellent preaching on marriage has made him the wonderful husband he is today.


My daddy & me!


Jason making Lydia and Russell laugh.
Do you recognize the table from our engagement pictures?



I owe so much to my mom! I could never repay her.


We're getting married tomorrow!!!
