Wedding Rehearsal

Abby and I drove up to Seattle for my friend Shauna's wedding rehearsal. The wedding ceremony and reception will take place on an old, renovated ferry called the Skansonia docked on Lake Union with the Seattle skyline in the distance. Absolutely beautiful!

The two flower girls had fun playing on the chairs together while we waited for rehearsal to begin.







And Abby of course had to smell all the flowers. ;o)



We've been talking about Abby's flower girl duties for weeks now and she did just wonderfully walking down the aisle during practice. We'll see how the real thing goes tonight. :) She was a bit disappointed that she wouldn't get to stand up front the whole time like I'd told her, but I completely understand Shauna wanting the girls to sit in the front row - they are young!


The first practice run.

Later, we went to a fun Italian pizzeria for the rehearsal dinner. Abby loved the fancy pizza, but her favorite had to be the chocolate chip gelato she had for dessert.


The bride and groom.

Abby and I had such a nice time, but boy was she tired when it was all over! She had a meltdown when we got in the car to go home, but after about 20 minutes of crying she was out cold and didn't even wake up at home when I changed her into her jammies. We'll see how tonight goes, since she most likely won't get in a nap today either and we won't be leaving Seattle until several hours later!
