Last Friday was the day before my wedding and what better way to spend it than with 3 of my groomsmen(PHall, Drama, Marcus Hempstead)on the golf course playing in a golf outing. This was our 1st PAR-TEE event, so we didnt really know what we got ourself into. We started on the par 5 #14, great beginning hole, with a chip in for eagle, Thanks to Johnny Drama. We all had a good number of great golf shots through out the day. If we wouldnt have had the Wedding Rehersal/Rehersal Dinner that night, we could have really got after it but like the gentlemen we are we respected the Bride's wishes of not showing up drunk to the church. Unlike Cory, TDub and Casey. We ended up getting 2nd in the event. We shot 51, should have bought 2 mulligans, then we could have tied for 1st. Next year we will be in the 40s, and be able to enjoy the free cocktails a little more.
The Wedding Rehersal at the church went great. Took a while for the groomsmen to figure out that you give a slight bow when you get to the alter (this isnt an MMA fight boys haha). The only hiccup of the practice was Hope and I messing up the same part of our vows. Once I slipped up on my lines I started shaking, and it was like the flood gates opened up on my forehead. I was just dripping in sweat, but I began to came down once Hope fumbled over the same line. Everyone was laughing at the two of us, it was a good way to end practice.
Rehersal Dinner was AMAZING. I wish I would have took a picture of the spread that was offered. Our parents and families planned one heck of a party. It worked out perfect having the get together at Hope's parents place. Everyone was able to meet eachother and enjoy some food & beverages. My aunt Gayle made the trip down from Minnesota with her family - that meant soo much to me. I havent seen Gayle since my cousin Josh's wedding. She is still battling her brain tumor, but she hasnt lost that sense of humor. It was great to spend time with her. We love you Gayle!! Pud(Casey Riedell) and I were hoping that we wouldnt go through the kegs we bought because we wanted to drink off them this wkend when we would be using my new grill(picture to come later this wkend), but we went through all the alcohol we purchased. I guess that type of stuff happens when you invite the ppl we did. Haha. Thanks again to everyone that helped with beverages, food, etc for the wedding rehersal dinner.
After dinner I got to meet up with a few of my pals that I met in the ATL. Mal, Tews, Patrick and Jason made the trip over to witness Hope and I getting married. We are so blessed to have met these guys and to have them as friends. Patrick, Scotty, and Tews even made the trip to Iowa for my bachelor party. I always told them how great Iowa was, and now they know we can party here. Thank you guys for coming and I promise Hope and I will starting visiting. Reunion in Chicago this Fall??
