Let’s go back a few days, and catch-up with where we are.

Friday, October 20
The day before the wedding:

This was the first day in which felt like a wedding was happening. We had been planning for months, but I took off from work this day, so it felt different.

We spent the majority of the morning decorating the FOP lodge, in preparation for the reception. Things were going well until we got around to putting the chair covers on the chairs. Some fit well, some not so well. A call to the rental company, and that problem was solved. The decorating went well, and by the time I left, the place was transformed.

After the decorating was done, we went to Bowman Field for the rehearsal. Everyone was there, and I definitely got a feel for how it would be on the wedding night. We zipped through the rehearsal, and got quickly on to the restaurant for the dinner. We crammed the Pope room to capacity, and ate enough to cover St. Peter’s square. It was a blast having everyone there, and I was glad to see my dad and Medina’s parents enjoying conversation throughout dinner.
