a and m :: rehearsal dinner prep and action.

a drizzling rainy day, round white tables, steaming tablecloths and ironing napkins, light-hanging shenanigans, a frustrated daddy and a son who takes over and has everyone laughing their head off, brother climbing off the ladder and sitting on the wooden beam (made for two scared sisters), light bulbs that burst, to-do lists and strong men to accomplish them, busyness and craziness but then again, organized chaos...

curled hair and up-do's by a best friend, make-up touch-ups and showers taken at a friend's house from church down the road, slipping on brand-new dresses just for this happy occasion, greeting guests as they arrive, a yummy dinner of chicken/pork/green beans/rolls/hashbrown casserole/salad/a variety of desserts, enjoying the picture slideshow put together by bro-in-law and sis, slipping on comfy clothes after the guests left and setting up for the big day the next day, not-planned jean jackets worn, a late night....
