Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner






Yesterday was the wedding rehearsal and dinner!
The Mister and I hosted the dinner, of course, and we all had
a very good time!  I filled bird cages with flowers and white doves for the
centerpieces and gave them to Lauren's mom and grandmothers to take 
home.  There was wonderful food, fun conversation and gift giving.
And of course, Taylor's ushers are a goofy bunch and had us laughing until
we cried.  The boys did great!  They got a little loud and Spencer kept 
trying to escape the room, but we had enough people there to
keep them in our sites. :)

Today is the big day!
I'm on my way to the salon to watch the bride and bridesmaids get all
dolled up.  The Mister and two of his brothers have taken the boys
to a couple train museums this morning.

The wedding is at 4:00.
Can't wait!
Thanks for all of your thoughts and well wishes!

  8. Can't believe you are making the time to post for all of us! So exciting - feels like we're there. Hope you and the boys are surviving - must shake up their world quite a bit. All the best of life and love to the newlyweds. I was laughing when I saw the beautiful rehearsal dinner settings... I thought to myself, "Betsy must love the centrepieces and sweet nests, etc." - little did I know it was YOU who designed them! So very delicate and charming. I hope you and yours have a wonderful, joy-filled day. Safe travels.
