our rehearsal dinner was all about fun & friends. when you first walked into the old town hall, there was a place card out for each person with an old picture of when we first met, a special memory, or something ridiculous that person had done. it was a wonderful way for everyone to tell stories & get to know each other.
in case you do not already know this - i think good food is one of the greatest happinesses in life. we had some fabulous food from
Abbey Road Catering, including the best down home mac & cheese as well as a great rendition of Cheever's chopped salad (my all time favorite food). oh, & the cupcakes! from the one & only
Amy Cakes. (i LOVE her.)
blake put together the sweetest slideshow of pictures from each of our lives & our life together. (note: my husband is the best.) (note # 2: i would post it here, but the file is too big for the divshare site i use to upload videos. any blog smarties out there, if you have a suggestion, i would love it.)
after the video, our a-freakin-mazing friends & family gave toasts to blakey & me. it was one of the most special times of my life.
my dad's infamous rose speech:
the bro brace:

love love,
