Before

There was lots of grooming,

weeding,

watering,

sewing (Simplicity 3943, with some modifications),

and planning, planning, planning.



And finally, when Rehearsal Day arrived, there was lots of cuddling,

moving,

setting up,

testing,

frosting (by my Mama this time, not me!),

waiting (the life-sized cutout that stood at the end of our driveway!),

practicing,

decorating,


eating (the Bride and her Maid of Honor),

and then more waiting.
