I was so happy when my Uncle Jim showed up to the rehearsal because I knew at that moment there would be loads of pictures to choose from when I got back from the honeymoon. Between he and my Aunt Dana almost every millisecond of my childhood is memorialized. I think overall there were around 150 pictures of the rehearsal and I sorted through them and narrowed the list to a beloved few.
I had spent so much time planning the actual day of the wedding that when it came to the rehearsal I had dropped the ball completely. I didnt know who was going to stand by whom, how to direct family members to stand or where to sit. I was a mess, but luckily my lovely wedding party were old pros at the walking, standing, ceremony order, and all that hoop-la. Thank God for Sam, our pastor, he was the glue that stuck the whole thing together.
We had a lot of fun being silly, laughing, dancing and getting to know one another. I am super blessed by the wonderful friends and family we had with us for the big occasion. A couple of notes about the whole shebang:
My sister kept all of the ribbons from the wedding showers and made my rehearsal bouquet out of them (so cute). Aggie, the littlest flower girl, dropped individual flower heads out of her basket and then picked them all up again to save them for the next day (love it). Ryan did a ridiculous irish dance for everyone during our mock vows (see above picture). The groomsman looked crazy awesome all standing in a line together (i.e. handsome looking dudes) and I felt like I was dreaming because all the planning had led to this practice and the day that followed.
big kiss, bekuh

Tomorrow will be part one of the ceremony, and if you missed our pre-rehearsal flower extravaganza check it out here. Hold on tight because things are only going to get prettier. (All pictures taken by Jim Berton & edited by Rebekuh Browning unless otherwise noted)
