By the time we got the cakes delivered & spent some time finalizing things with Jan at the Bowling Alley we were a little late getting to the Rehearsal. I did remember the one thing I had to bring which was our tuxedos so that was good. Once there we were gathered together & given a quick overview from Pastor Stan. Then we got lined up & did a quick run through. He told us just what we needed to know as we needed to know it. After we all were in our places after walking "down the isle", he went through the ceremony quickly. Thad had a little problem remembering to say "I will" as opposed to "I do", so that gave us something to laugh at & remind him about several times. We did things a second time through but a little slower to make sure we had everything which went well.

By this point I knew that I had 4 things to do. (1) Walk in, stopping at the door & letting Charity set the pace up the stairs, (2) Hold the rings & give them to Stan, (3) Sign the marriage license, (4) Walk out, again stopping at the door. Not too bad seemed like something I could handle ;) Stan also told everyone that there was to be no alcohol before the wedding & that he would not let anyone be in the wedding if they had drank, which I thought was a good idea. Overall Stan made things go really smoothly & we spent lots of time laughing about things, he has a very easy going way about himself.

After getting done we went to Castle Rock for supper. Karli rode with Sayoko & I, so we got to talk to her about things. Once up there we got our drinks & got our food. The last picture shows another buffet meal for Sayoko (all that food is not hers though). The meal went really well & amazingly I did not eat to much. After that Thad & Kristy gave out gifts which included a cap for us to wear (white tipped Primos for me, so I was an easily identifiable best man) & a sweet knife. The knife has two paintings, one of a buck & the other of a lake, it was gorgeous. After getting that all done & talking to some of the people we headed home to get some sleep for the big day.
