After we set up, all my bridesmaids and I went back to our house to get pretty before the rehearsal. I had bought a few new dresses for wedding events and was stoked to finally be putting on the one I had picked out for the rehearsal. After we were all prettified, we piled into BM K’s Swagger Wagon, Tecates in hand, and headed back to the venue for the rehearsal.

Us girls arrived very last to the rehearsal, but you know what? I was a-okay with that because I was the bride! Certainly the rehearsal wasn’t going to start without me, assuming anyone even knew what to do at a rehearsal. I was so happy to see my very soon-to-be husband and get the thang started!

We did the standard reverse walk through, with everyone starting at the altar. The most important part of our rehearsal was working with pairing up our uneven wedding party, and fortunately it worked out perfectly.

Because there was no real strategy to our rehearsal, there was lots of directing going on, however the lack of formality made it go rather smooth…you know, since we were just casually walking with friends while enjoying a brewski!

We did a few walk-throughs and decided that we had it down, so Mr. Honey and I rehearsed our recessional one last time, beers in hand…

Our rehearsal took all of about 15 minutes and we didn’t plan on dinner until 5PM, so we had some time to kill. This provided some good catching up and kick back time with our guests.

This down time also allowed FIL Honey to give us his wedding gift, which was perfect, because it was a rather special gift so we got to open it when it was relatively calm. He handed over a card, giving a sweet sentimental speech:

• We had a busy wedding week
• Teamwork made our Dream Work
