WOW! I LOVE the firework pictures. We're getting married at home but I'm trying to convince the DH2B to do a MK Photo Session when we're there for our honeymoon.

Quick Question: what type of bustle do you have? My dress is similar - in that it has embroidery on the back that I don't want to "loose" in a bustle but we can't figure out how to bustle it. The "train" isn't long and I'll be fine if I don't bustle the dress but I'd love to figure out a way to do it.

It was a french bustle or called an under bustle. There is 3 rings that you tied the ties to. It showed off my embroidery work & I loved it, made the dress so easy to walk & dance in.

Do you have any close up pictures you could share? My DH2B's great aunt is doing my alterations for me. I was there with his mom over the weekend and we were trying every which way to bustle my dress and couldn't get it to look or lay right - I always ended up either looking like I was 20 feet wide or like i had 2 behinds! TIA!

I love DH's juxtaposition of the military dress clothes and mouse ears.

So where were we? So the mini golf party went great, it definately got the family together (my parent's were divorced when I was 3). The follwoing day was the rehearsal & dinner.

Before leaving the mini golf party Ken Weaver asked me if we could move up the rehearsal time from 3:00pm to 11:00 am. He had another wedding and wanted to be able to spend as much time as he could with us. He made a call to Rev Day and 11:00 was set. I called Olive Garden and changed our reservation from 5pm to 1pm. Not a problem there at all.

We told my Dad and the wedding party to meet us in the lobby of the Beach Club and then we would walk over to Beach Club. Everyone was on time. It was so hot that day. When we arrive at SBP Ken & Rev Jack are waiting for us. We quickly go through the set-up, figure out how I am going to walk in and run through the vows.

As we are walking back I see a good photo oppurtunity:

Off to Olive Garden we go...
I had originally booked O'hanas but with Blessing's peanut allergy and the expense we decided to go off property. Olive Garden sectioned off an area and we had a set menu to choose from. The meal was $15.95 and included a soft drink, choice of Tour of Italy, Alfredo, Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Parm or Eggplant Parm, salad, breadsticks & vanilla ice cream. Everybody paid for their own beverages from the bar.

We gave out the bridal party gifts and explained how transportation would be working the next day.

I was glad that rehearsal dinner was earlier than we originaly planned because then we had some time to relax before the big day. We went back to the hotel and hit up Stormalong Bay.
