After our rehearsal we headed over to the bar/restaurant where Mr. Pineapple and I went on our first date. (Although we didn’t know it was a date at the time.) Smokin’ Joe’s Saloon was just a couple blocks from where both Mr. P and I lived at the time and we met there after work almost every day, no joke. So this little bar with the best condiments I have ever had and 60 beers on tap became our home away from home.
Ew! Mom and Dad! Hehe
Best Man Erik and Phil
This is manager Mike, witness of our relationship since day one.
I was a little unsure about our choice to have our rehearsal dinner at a bar at first. Once we arrived, I was so glad we did. Everyone had a blast; Mike the manager even moved the table out of the way so we could practice our line dancing for the next day. It was a wonderfully laid back way to celebrate and pay tribute to the place where it all began.
Are you having an un-traditional rehearsal dinner?

FH’s BFF had their rehearsal @ a brewery and it was great! No clue where we’ll do ours yet.
We’re tossing around the idea of having our rehearsal dinner at a bowling alley. Half our wedding party lives out of state and have never met so we thought something like bowling would be a fun way for everyone to get to know each other before the wedding. Plus, my family loves bowling.
I hope you are talking about Smokin’ Joe’s on the South Side. They have the best quesadillas!!! 
I want a rehearsal dinner that is laid back. I love the idea if having it at a bowling alley. My FMIL wants to have a sit down dinner. So, there is a little drama going on. We’ll see what happens.
We’re not doing a real rehearsal dinner. We’ll have many out of town guests and the wedding is in a very small town with not much to do, so we’re having a big barbecue (that’s southern barbecue, as in pork) and a bluegrass band!
