Bethany and Elliot's wedding rehearsal was like all other rehearsals I've been too. Excited bride and groom. Groomsmen knowing they need to pay attention, but really would rather skip the rehearsal and have the party. Bridesmaids paying attention making sure they know their place and the groomsmen's across from them (because they know the groomsmen didn't listen!). Added to this evening was all three of our kids participating. Our oldest was a Jr. Bridesmaid...she was THRILLED. I all but begged Bethany years ago to have #1 be a flower girl (this was pre-meeting the man of her dreams). Bethany asked children #2 and #3 to be the ring bearer and flower girl, respectively. The boy was not interested until the rehearsal. He really got into the part, but didn't understand why he carried a Bible instead of a pillow like I had been telling him. The youngest...well, those who know her can just imagine. She enjoyed racing up and down the rows more than listening and walking DOWN the isle. Ginger was in charge of getting everyone to their places.
It rained earlier in the day, ruining plans to had the rehearsal dinner outside. Instead, we hung out in the church's cafetorium. We didn't stay long...the boy and little girl were ready for bed.
