We are just about 5 days away now and OMG, we had our rehearsal dinner last night and we had so much fun!!!!!

Although it was a bit of a pain because my FIL's didn't want to CATER the event or go to a restaurant so we could save money so my FMIL suggested that her and my mom cook everything themselves. WELL, my mom got stuck cooking most of the food because FMIL works crazy hours and then we had to transport everything ourselves which was NOT fun!!!!! However after spilling SHRIMP sauce all over our car and getting my white coat dirty, the end result was THAT IT WAS A BLAST!!!

I gave my girls their gifts: pearl necklaces and earrings and the guys got cufflinks and a coach wallet.

The most nerve wracking part of the day was practicing walking down the aisle though--OMG, my knees were shaking but at least I had a HUGE smile on my face!!!!!!

Girls, it's almost here!!!!

We had it at a Greek catering/meeting center. Something similar to a VFW. My mom and two bridesmaids decorated it and set it all up! They did such a great job!!
