The weekend started off with the rehearsal on Friday evening in the rain, followed by the rehearsal dinner in Old Town. During the dinner, we surprised my sister with a slide show of photos of her and her fiancée from babies through their engagement, which everyone loved!
Saturday morning the bridesmaids all got their hair done at the salon, then went to the bridal suite to do make-up and get changed into our dresses. Then we all piled into the limo to head to the wedding. The wedding was held overlooking the Potomac River and could not have been a prettier setting.
After the wedding, the guests headed over to cocktail hour while the bridal party took photos, which didn't take very long at all. Then we all headed to the end of cocktail hour, and then to the ballroom for our introductions. After that, it was speech time. My dad gave a very nice introduction, and then I was up. My maid of honor speech went well and I made my 3 sisters cry so I consider it a success. Then it was the Best Man's speech and the dinner.
The food was delicious! Dinner consisted of Lobster Ravioli followed by Caprese salad, and the entree was filet mignon, green beans, and roasted potatoes. Yum! The desserts were cake, cannolis, mini tarts, and 5 different kinds of pies!
The rest of the night was lots of dancing, chatting, and drinking, followed by more drinking and talking at the after-party bar.
The festivities concluded on Sunday with brunch. It was sad saying bye to everyone but it was such an amazingly fun weekend!!!
