FRIDAY PART 1: REHEARSAL LUNCH

I was going to post the entire happenings of this past Friday, but I just have too many pictures..so I divided it up. I'm sorry to say that the Rehearsal Lunch comes before the actual Rehearsal. (That is not really the way it happened.)

A quick catch-up, Mike and I left Friday morning, around 7:45am to venture down to Frederick, Maryland for the wedding of Bill & Cathy. We had an uneventful ride--the weather was beautiful, no traffic, one stop for gas....and we arrived at our hotel a little after 11am. After a brief nap/clean-up, we headed to the Ceresville (?) Mansion for the rehearsal which began at 2pm. Those pictures will follow.

These pictures, as I mentioned, are from the lunch/dinner that followed. The Mansion's property is beautiful. They had a picnic buffet style lunch/dinner set up for us on the grounds. There were games to play (badminton, horseshoes etc.) and even a firepit.

The matching was NOT intentional.
Mike being anti-social. Can you believe it?!!!
Mom Rose's shoes did not fit properly, so she borrowed Michelle's for about 3 minutes...

You'll notice in this photo, she is barefoot.

Bill & Cathy with a thank-you speech.

Us.
Again.
Brothers..

The pavilion where we were "stationed."

Some of the grounds:

The inside of the ladies port-a-potty. There was no one else in there at that point, no worries.
Waiting for me...

We left shortly after this photo.
