Ok, I have all of my uploading done and so yup, I am finally starting. I have about 3.5 hours to work on this so hopefully I can get a lot done.
I am going to start with our rehearsal day.
December 6, 2007-
I stayed at my grandma's house the night before because I had to shave my legs and our roomate has banned me from using his shower and the master bathroom only has a little stand-up shower, so my grandma was nice enough to let me stay over. Anyway, so I woke up at about 7:30 because I had to be at school by 8:00 to go to class and then I had to take my final after class so I was done by about 10:30. *Insert note* I don't have many pictures until the time that rehearsal starts.
So after class I went over to my mom's house because we were getting our nails done at 12:00.
At 11:00 my mom asked me take her dog outside and I did when I got outside, I kind of started to panic because the snow storm had started all ready that they were predicting was going to start around 2:00 that afternoon. At about 11:45 we went to pick up my little sister from school(she is in 8th grade). We got to nail salon they started on my pedicure and my mom's pedicure
They only have two chairs so my sister went last.) They pedicure felt sooooo...good and they made my toes look all pretty, I got a french pedicure. Then they started on my nails and I got a full set and had them do french. When I was sitting there waiting for them to finish with my mom, I called my aunt (MOH), my other aunt(GM's mom), my BM, and my other other aunt(RB and FG's mom), and my dad. All of them were running really behind because of the weather except my dad(who was in Des Moines). Our GM was south of Kansas City going 40-45 MPH, my MOH was going 30 behind a semi-truck, my FG and RB's mom was here thank god, and my BM was going about 50 and was about two hours away. Finally at about 4:00 I got two or three consecutive phone calls. My MOH was going to be here in about an hour, my BM was here(but stuck across town), and my GM was north of Kansas City still going out 45 MPH. So we get ready and go to the church. It took us 45 minutes to drive across town because of the snow and the snow plows obviously couldn't keep up with the falling snow.
My sister and I were the first ones to arrive(my mom had to go drop off the dog) then DF arrived. So the important people were there. Then my dad showed up and it was pretty awesome to see him. Eventually everyone else got there except 4 out of 5 groomsmen. 1 GM was stuck at home blocked into his driveway, 1 GM didn't want to drive in the snow, 1 GM wasn't coming until the next morning which we knew ahead of time, and the last GM was still on the road. Here are some pictures of the rehearsal

I think that is enough pictures from the rehearsal.
After the rehearsal we went to the dinner, it was a restaurant called Mama Lacona's. It is a little Italian Restaurant that DH and I love going to, except I couldn't taste anything this time.

Then when dinner was all over we opened up a present from like 10 people who went in on it together cause it is a really nice and expensive knife set.
