Friday night was the rehearsal dinner and bridal shower. We met Caleb's family in a park for a picnic/barbecue and Caleb's dad (the minister) ran us all through the ceremony.

The sibs. James is fighting back a smile...that's as close as you're going to get. Photo taken by my dad. Obviously I'm compensating for my lack of height with length of hair.

Kim and Caleb cuteness, you'll be getting a lot of that in future posts...I can't remember if Dad or me took this one.

Then photos of groups ensued. The girls know how to strike a pose. Left to right: Caleb's mom, my mom, Kim (bride), me (maid of honor), and Caleb's sister (bridesmaid). Photo taken by my dad.

And during the rehearsal. Don't we all look as if we know what we are doing? :p Photo taken by James.

THEN was the bridal shower back at the hotel room. We called it a "lingerie party" but it included much more than just lingerie...

We played a lot of fun games, including Toilet Paper Bride, where everyone drew a themed bride and had to make the costume out of toilet paper and Kimberly had to guess which what was what, then vote on the best. Michelle was the Pirate Bride! Photo taken by Kim.
