We wrapped up our "extra special" wedding rehearsal. "Extra special" is not being used in a good way. Make sure your day-of coordinator is on point. Hmph!
Anyway.
We wrapped our wedding rehearsal . . .
. . . and headed to our rehearsal dinner. Here are a few pics of this great evening with food, family, and friends. We all met post-wedding rehearsal at (now closed) The Cajun Experience. We chose this restaurant as a nod to my Gulf Coast roots. They gave us red carpet treatment. It was an amazing evening.
Folks mixed and mingled as we waited for dinner to be served:
 |
| I tried to record as much as I could. |
 |
| Bee and her awesome daughter who's graduating from college today! YAY!!!! |
 |
| Love this pic! |
 |
| Some of our crew |
 |
| J made it all the way from Houston to be a part of our special day. |
 |
| My flower girl and my auntie bonding before dinner. |
 |
| Hubs and my in-laws |
Then it was finally time to stuff our faces. We served traditional cajun food and had beignets for dessert!
 |
| Crawfish mac&cheese and etouffe' |
 |
| Blackened chicken salad |
 |
| Gumbo!!! |
 |
| I knew the camera was on me, so I was trying to have some manners ;). |
After dinner, it was time for toasts:
 |
| My sister kicked it off |
 |
| One of Hubs' dearest friends brought me to tears |
 |
| And of course there was laughter. One of my favorite pics from the evening. |
 |
| Cheers! |
After the toasts, Hubs and I gave a few remarks.
 |
| Saying our thank yous |
Then we gave some gifts to the bridal party.
 |
| Dr. J. and his new travel bag, Kobe. He's a hardcore Lakers Fan. Ha! |
After dinner and gifts, it was time to part ways. We posed for a few pics:
 |
| Stealing a kiss before we parted ways |
And ended the night with a fist bump.
Until next time . . . I'll be over here reminiscing and craving etouffe'!
