The rehearsal dinner was at the Flying W. When we arrived, the food had been out out buffet style and people were eating at picnic tables outside. It was pretty informal and enjoyable. Eventually everyone did introduce themselves and Hannah and the best man gave speeches. Hannah told funny stories about how she mistreated Leah all her life and then said she looks up to,Leah because of the awesome choices she makes including choosing David.
The rest of the evening was spent talking with David's family and getting to know them better and reminiscing with the kids and Anna. I am failing at putting into words how enjoyable it was to socialize with all of Leah and David's friends and family. Most of the kids got into he hot tub. Maggie and her new husband played some music.
I loved spending precious time with the kids. They are so witty and fun and just good people.
Sunday morning we got up and had a leisurely breakfast and got showered and went to Camp Wood to set up for the reception. Camp Wood is a YMCA camp and was an amazing facility for the reception. There was so much to do but everyone pitched in.
Leah handmade such careful plans and everything was so beautiful!
We then went back to Flying W to get changed for the wedding and the girls took special care helping Leah get ready.
One special memory is when everyone was ready, we went over to the other cabin where David had gotten ready and he was on the side porch having his picture taken. Scott and I were with Leah and no one else was there. I loved the look on David's face when he saw his bride. One thing the wedding weekend solidified for me, is how special of a relationship Leah and David have. They have a special friendship and love. Some of the photos capture that well.
