So That was New...

Podcast Tuesday, and it's full of wedding stories! Enjoy!

 Listen here!

Thanks for all the kind words about the wedding venue beauty! We really had very little to do with it, but I'll thank you for those who did put all the hours into it!

For those of you who asked if I would be able to post wedding pictures...yes, I will, but I've decided to wait until after the bride has seen them. Seems only kind, right? So I'll tell you about the rehearsal today and then I'll save the rest for when she has her pictures and has had a chance to share them herself!

(And by "the rest," I do NOT mean I will post all 1592 I took on the wedding day. You're welcome.)

So Friday night was the rehearsal and dinner, and I was the photographer on deck for the evening. It was still pretty warm so I was glad I brought a sleeveless dress and put my hair up into a (most unattractive) pony for the night.

The pony may not have been attractive, but you know what was? MY DATE!!!!!

 Isn't he so handsome?

We had pizza for dinner (which was delicious after a day of chores) and then we assembled for the great rehearsal of 2017.

(Photographers have a peeking license during prayer. Didn't know if you knew that.)

There was this groomsman I had a crush on...

(Sorry some of the pictures aren't 100% clear. I was still messing with my camera and trying to take against a bright light. Sigh.)

Everyone in their places! It really did make a lovely scene there at the front.

So here's a funny story. After the first run of the rehearsal, the party went outside to do a second run. Right around then, I heard an engine revving, and then I heard the minister say, "Bekah can be the best man." WHAT?!?!?

Turns out the best man had ridden his motorcycle to the rehearsal and the "pop up shower" in the forecast was really a long rain. He and his girlfriend went home at "halftime" to try to beat the rain. They needed a best man (or someone to stand in that place) and they didn't have any extras to play the part. So they delegated me. 

Never been a best man before! (And I won't lie. I wasn't that great at it.)

The awkward escorting of the matron of honor. LOL! 

So that was my new adventure at the rehearsal. Always something, right?

We stayed after for a bit to help with some last minute decorating and then went home for a little sleep before the big day!
