We headed to the Rehersal, which was about 45 minutes away from her house, and got there early enough to walk through everything and go over decorations, etc before the crowd arrived. When everyone got there, we ran through the rehersal several times and headed to dinner.
She got married at Chesnut Square, and it is this old littel chapel and it was surrounded by victorian style houses. It was so pretty! We had the dinner at one of the houses. They had Babe's caterted in and it was delicious!! I heard everyone taling about this place and going on and on about how good it was all week, so I was excited to try it, and not only that but it was down home cooking, which is my favorite! So if you are ever in Texas, it is a must try!! Mitch and I loved it!!
We finished up some last minute decorations and then heaed back to Elizabeth's house. Some of the girls stayed with her that night and it was fun to stay up and visit. We didnt have to be up until around 8:00, so it was nice to sleep in a little bit.
We got up and got ready and headed to Elizabeth's Bridal Bruch! It was at a friend of her mom's house and was so pretty!! They had more food than you could imagine... casseroles, fruit, yogurt, cinamon rolls, cheese, and so much more! Everything was decorated so nice with all yellow and gray!! And of course we had homemade iced coffee. Yum!
We left the brunch and went back to Elizabeth's to start getting ready. We got our hair and make-up done and then all headed to the church. We got there and finished up getting ready, got dressed and took pictures!! It was super hot outside, so we didnt take lots of pictures! By the time pictures were over all of our hair was flat and we had to run back inside and touch it up before the ceremony.
It was suppose to start at 5:00pm, but there was a huge wreck on 75 north and people were still showing up right at 5, so they decided to delay the wedding until 5:15 since so many people were coming from that way.
It was the sweetest ceremony and I was so blessed to be matron of honor. After the ceremony, we did pictures and then on to the reception! It was such a fun reception. They had italian catereted in for dinnner and half of it was inside and half was outside. The dance floor was outside and it was the perfect night for it!! I loved getting to see all my OBU friends and I cant believe she is finally married!! I am so happy for her and Kevin!
They left the reception a little after 9 and Mitch and I had to follow them to the hotel, so we didnt get there until around 10:00pm and then on our way back to Rockwall, we got stopped by a huge wreck, so needless to say we didnt get back home until really late and I was exhausted!!!
Sunday, we slept in and went and had Mexican on the Harbor in Rockwall with Will and Michelle. I was dreading making the drive home, so I was trrying to delay it as long as possible!
We didnt get home until around 9 last night and I went straight to bed. I dont think I have ever been so tired. It was all worth it and I would it again in a heart beat, but this morning came way too fast and not to mention, it was storming when I woke up so it took all I have in me to get out of bed. I was so tempted to use a vacation day!
Hope y'all have a wonderful week!!
