Tensions were high at Maribeth's rehearsal dinner. Everyone was anxious for the big day. Practicing of how things were going to go down at the ceremony was weird - I've never attended a Catholic wedding, and quickly learned that they did things very differently. I wasn't exactly sure who I was bowing too, or why Jesus looked so ghastly (well, I know why, but really? I don't wanna look at that...) but other than practicing how quickly I was going to walk down the isle, it was pretty standard. I tried to crack a few jokes to lighten the mood... And by that I mean I kept pretending it was Jesus talking over the loud speaker. I got partnered with Uncle John - easily the best groomsman! I made sure he had a tight grip on my arm so I wouldn't eat it as I was walking down the isle...
The dinner itself was held at Maribeth's parents house. The food was delicious - there was even a slideshow put together by Christina containing old photos of MB and Kevin. Maribeth and Kevin thanked everyone and gave their little speeches. I felt really honored to be sitting there alongside Maribeth and her closest friends and family. :) She's an awesome friend, and I'm so happy for her!
