Rehearsal Dinner

Our Rehearsal Dinner was at Gordon Biersh in Summerlin - 40 minutes from our apartment.  I have a Jeep Commander that seats 7 people. To give you an idea of what my car looked like let me just explain what was in it:

1. Eddie 
2. Me
3. My bags (in front of my feet)
4. Rachel (on my lap)
5. Rehearsal Cake (on center console with Rachel's elbow in it)
6. Jill
7. Jill's bag (in front of my feet)
8. Sara
9. Sara's suit case (in the back of the car)
10. Ray
11. Mike
12. My dress and viel (sprawled across everyone's laps)
13. Card Box
14. Vases
15. Gifts for our parents and bridal party
16. Signature Portrait
17. Table Frames
18. AND MUCH MORE!!

 (Just to give you an idea...)

Needless to say, this was the ride from HELL! Although it was the worst 40 minutes of my life, it is definitely 40 minutes with my family that I will never forget!

This is my favorite cake from Nothing Bundt Cake. The bottom tier was marble and the top tier was red velvet with chocolate chips (my fav). Somehow this cake survived the ride. What a trooper!

Both of our grandma's were able to come all the way from Ohio; which was very special for us!

These are my lovely bridesmaids! After the Rehearsal Dinner we went to Red Rock where us girls stayed in the Honeymoon Suite. We had an entry way with a bar, dining area, living room, bedroom and two bathrooms - it was AMAZING! Although we could have stayed in the room for the night, we went to the Red Rock Lanes instead. While there we did shots of Patron, of course! I seriously think I am the only bride to do shots of Patron the night before the wedding, but I had to celebrate my cousins coming all the way from Ohio, right?!
