We rehearse ... and then we eat!

Last night was the wedding rehearsal and then the rehearsal dinner for Dylan and Kelly. I'm quickly posting just a few photos for you to see ... I haven't any time to do a better job at this ... so it is what it is! This first picture is of Jackson, the ring-bearer, and Naomi, the flower-girl. Naomi was three in April. She wasn't real sure about Jackson at first, but ... little kids are something, aren't they? Jackson persisted in getting acquainted with this little girl, and pretty soon, the ice melted ... and she was happy and fine!

Dylan and his groomsmen ...
The bridesmaids ... and Father Nick ...
Dylan giving instructions to his ring-bearer (who is VERY proud to do this job for his Uncle Dylan!) ...
Kelly's father, Patrick O'Brien, walking the bride down the aisle ...
Dylan and Kelly requested a casual outdoor dinner of pizza ... so we booked Ada Park for the occasion ... hoping very much that it would NOT rain ...
This is Naomi (isn't she the prettiest little thing?) getting ready to open her gift from KellyO ...


Jackson opening his gift for being such a wonderful ring-bearer ...
And ... Sabrina with baby Jeremiah ... we could NOT have pulled off this dinner at the park without Sabrina. She ran errands for us all day long ... posted directional signs, arrived early at the park to set the tables up, gathered wild flowers for our centerpiece, and I can't remember all of the other stuff she did ... but we thank her! The rehearsal and dinner went on as planned ... NO rain at all!

Well ... it's wedding day and we leave for the church in 30 minutes! It's a beautiful day. The sun is shining, a wonderful breeze is blowing ... and Dylan and Kelly are about to join their lives together. So much planning and emotion goes into this day ... I am just praying that the Lord will be honored in all that is said and done ... because He is the One who really matters. :)
