My one regret about the rehearsal dinner was that it was too short.
At 7:45, we jumped in a cab and headed over to the fantabulous Coco500 for our rehearsal dinner.
The restaurant was closed just for us!!
I can’t describe how it feels to walk into a room full of your favorite people. It was a party with all the coolest people we know.
It’s impossible to put it into words the love that took over the restaurant- unless this picture of my ’Holy Crap, I think I am going to pee in my seat because all my favorite people are here’ face - counts:
After mingling, drinks and dinner (which the guests are still talking about, by the way):
After our appointed MC (FBIL Peep) made some notes:
And welcomed everyone to the dinner and welcomed me into the family, FINALLY!!
Mama Peep kicked off the toasts in style with a toast crafted around one of our favorite songs, Better Together by Jack Johnson. She pointed out that our ancestors lived miles apart a hundred years ago in Eastern Europe and again half a century ago in Kansas, yet it wasn’t until 2006 that we became Better Together.
Seriously, Mama Peep amazes me!!
MIL Peep’s toast made both Sister Peep and SIL Peep ask her for her secret to having such a great relationship with her son!!
And our friends reminded us of why they are the BEST people in our lives.
Even if it embarrassed us a wee bit.
We’ll always love them.
So as our friends raised their glasses to US.
We raised them right back,
and realized how ridiculously lucky we are!!
After a night like that, I was so upset at midnight when Sister Peep told me that I was about to turn into a pumpkin, so I said goodbye to Mr. Peep with joy in my eyes.
Gave him my last single girl kiss.
And went to a slumber party with the bridesmaids.
What are you planning to do the night before your wedding?
Up next, the big day finally arrives and we get prettified.

Your rehearsal dinner looked lovely. I’m also planning on having a slumber party with my bridesmaids the night before. How did that work for you? I want to do it but I’m worried I won’t get any sleep!
i looks like you and your family had a wonderful time!
on a side note, how IS coco500? i work nearby and have always wondered how it is
Wow, what an awesome party. Your family and friends sound like such special folks! 
I’m having a bridesmaid sleep over too!! I can’t wait!
you look soooooo happy! Congrats!
Ooh, I’m looking at a maid’s slumber party too! Looked like a great rehearsal dinner.
Looks like a fun dinner - and how cool that you were able to have the whole place to yourselves!
@French Fry: It was super fun to have a slumber party- I think we were all pretty tired so we got to bed around 1ish. @tea: Coco500 is awesomeness. Totally recommend the fried green beans and the pizzas are my fav.
That looks like so much fun. It’s such a great feeling to be surrounded by everyone who loves you! You described your face perfectly with that sentiment.
The girls seem most excited about our sleep-over too. We’re going to rent chick flicks about weddings, just to go with the theme. I’m looking forward to our rehearsal dinner! It will be so much fun.
It looks like you had a lot of fun at your rehearsal dinner! I also want to have a slumber party with my girls. I’m just not sure who’s house we’ll be using.
Awww, your last single girl kiss pic is so cute!
And is FBIL Peep holding a knife while toasting?
@Miss Bruschetta: Ha ha, yes. It was the very start of his toast. He used it to clink a glass (which is in his other hand) to get everyone’s attention.
You look like you had so much fun! I am so very excited to see our out-of-towners from England and the Netherlands on Friday night! i hope I don’t really pee myself though, lol!
