Starting with the Rehearsal and Dinner

It all starts with the rehearsal on Friday night.  All day we had been taking care of last minute details and now we are ready to begin the festivities.  The Handsome Husband /Loving Father carries the dress into the church and into the Brides room.
Daddy walks her down the aisle for the first time.  We are all so happy!  The big day has finally arrived.  

Alyssa and Greg.  Alyssa carries her bouquet from the shower.

The Ricks put on a beautiful Rehearsal Dinner at a very elegant and classy restaurant called Mr. Stox in Anaheim.  We had our very own room and at the table above, you will see pictures of the happy couple and my wedding photo and the Ricks' wedding photo.  We have been married 26 years this year and the Ricks have been married 40.  At each place setting there was a picture of the attendee with either the Bride or Groom showing their relationship through the years.  It was awesome, such a great idea. 
This Groom's cake was the best cake ever!  A light, delicious chocolate mousse cake! So Yummy!
Tuxedo strawberries.  Especially good since strawberries are in season right now.
Me with my Aunt Marjorie and my Uncle Rod.  My honorary parents (both my parents are passed away).

The Gore family.  Katie and Jer in front - Grandparents of the Bride.

The Groom and his groomsmen.

The Bride and Groom getting ready for tomorrow.  We had a low pressure system move in and Greg started feeling sinus pressure and having an earache.  He had to leave early.  He went to the doctor in the morning on Saturday and got a prescription and felt fine by the wedding.  Whew!  Wedding pictures to follow.  I didn't take pictures myself, so I'm using my friends pictures of whatever they send me!
