Friday March 16, 2001

The day started with a nail appointment. The first (and last) time that I have ever had fake nails. From there we went to decorate the reception site and the church.

Rehearsal was stressful. One of the groomsman didn't show up and his brother, the best man, was an hour late. (But we don't hold grudges, now do we!) Thank goodness for Kevin and Jeremy who were there to fill in and keep Brenda calm!

Rehearsal was followed by an extremely fun rehearsal-dinner at Chevy's Fresh-Mex, complete with slimy oysters, ice-cream kisses and silly singing waiters!

After rehearsal and dinner, which was over with at 10:00pm, Jennifer, myself and my parents went back to the reception site to finish decorating! We were there putting candy bars and bells on tables until 1:00am. Andrew, Jason, Jennifer and I all stayed up until 2:30am watching Pulp Fiction before going to bed!
