Rehearsal Dinner

We got all settled in Castroville. I got my stuff spread out in my bridal suite. It was such a treat! The bathroom was amazing. We began to get ready for the rehearsal. Bill got his outfit on and was all smiles. I rocked my tights and my cute fur. I was a little cold but ready to organize the ceremony.
The kids were excellent all weekend. Jillian was ready to be the star. She was so proud holding Roy's hand. She did an excellent job.
We practiced a run through twice and felt comfortable with the sequence of the ceremony. Everyone seemed in good spirits but we sure were ready to get inside from the cold. Mike, my godfather, was the officiant and had the situation under control.
We finally got our food and Bill and I got up and welcomed everyone. We did a great job despite our nervousness. We gave out our gifts. The boys got Swiss army knifes and the girls got furs. That is right: FURS!! It was a slight twist we decided to put into the wedding. We knew it was going to be cold so we decided instead of wraps we would use furs.
Uncle John, who is very near and dear to our hearts, got up and gave a toast and cried through most of it. He did a great job. He came all the way from Irving to be Bill's best man.
Ashley gave an awesome speech about how she was always my biggest fan and supporter and that I am the type of person that needs that so she passed the torch on to Bill to take on that new role.
Finally, my dad got up and talked about how brothers only marry sisters once in a blue moon and there happen to be a blue moon. (CLEVER!!) And the next one will occur on our 18th anniversary. I can't wait!! Here is the happy couple ready to seal the deal!
