Most of us (meaning Brad and Jamie, Brandon and Katie, and Me) got into town Wednesday night. The guys filled their days with golfing and us girls sat around trying to fill our time. The day of the rehearsal was pretty boring. Jamie was out doing last minute details and Katie and I were plopped on the coach watching Sex and the City the movie. We started to get ready early, but still had nothing to do until we left for the Church. We laid around some more, talking about random things in my room.
It was finally time to get dressed and head out to Bowling Green. We gathered all our things and took a few quick pictures outside.
It had been a beautiful day, but of course when we were driving over there it started to rain. My dad had just washed the truck, so that it was nice and clean for Brad and Jamie to drive off after the ceremony. We had to drop a few things off at the hotel where we were having the dinner at, so we rushed in trying to stay dry. We were supposed to be at the church around 5 p.m. and of course we were late. We were busy pouring ice in coolers and organizing the room.
At the church, we got a little glimpse of the wedding coordinator nazi! The church provided a lady to run us through the ceremony and help us practice. She was a little strict on the events of the ceremony and she wasn't afraid to let you know if you were doing something wrong. She was very bossy and very blunt. You can catch a little view of here in action in the right of the picture.
Instead of being angry, we found humor in her strategic preparations. We laughed it off and continued on. We finished at the church then headed back to the hotel. Much to all the guy's appetites, the dinner was catered by Donatos. The rest of the evening was very relaxed. My Dad made a tearful speech, Brad and Jamie exchanged gifts and the wedding party also got some wonderful gifts. Jamie gave all the bridesmaid a boat load of Bath & Body Works and Victoria Secret products. The bags weighed about 30 pounds! She works at the headquarters in Columbus so she is constantly getting sample and free products.
We finished the night with all the grooms men plus some having a poker tournament at our house and getting some much needed sleep.
