Florida Rehearsal Day
| Friday was rehearsal day. We started with a casual morning. Gratia tried to kill me by taking me running. Tom beat his mother at HORSE. It was all about trying kill your family I guess. |
|
|
We had PERFECT weather of course. Some took advantage of it by splashing everyone around the pool with their dives. |
| Andrew taught Tom this dive. |
|
|
Andrew still has a bit of his old form. |
| Marc made Pina Coladas for the afternoon festivities. |
|
|
Andrew cooked up our fish again for the fish tacos. |
| Andrew has a couple friends that are event planners (they started out as wedding planners but gave up weddings because they have too much drama). They agreed to work as wedding planners for Andrew and Kendra's wedding. They provided more than their money's worth out of friendship. |
|
|
Before the rehearsal got under way, Ken had to work out the terms with Reggie (the minister) so that he would allow the marriage to go on. |
| Once the rehearsal was underway, Kendra's friends Sarah, Lindsey and Nicole supervised. |
|
|
Kendra's parents, Ken and Gay, practiced dragging her in screaming and kicking. |
| After the rehearsal, we went to Bud and Allie's restaurant for a groom's dinner. |
|
|
Gratia took this picture of us at the dinner (Thank you Gratia). |
| We are learning to put on a good face with only one son left. |
|
|
These ladies have no sympathy for us. |
| Kendra's friends are known as the JAKKS (based on the letters of their first names - here Andrew substitutes for Anne). The JAKKS put Andrew through a test to see if he was worthy of marrying one of their own. |
|
|
Andrew squeaked by on the test and was inducted. |
| Kendra had to face up to the fact that even her friends couldn't get her out of becoming a Stolee. |
