Friday night was the rehearsal followed by a very nice dinner at the Commissioned Officer's Club at the Naval Supply Activity in Mechanicsburg. It was a delicious dinner and a very nice evening. After dinner we went to the Elephant & Castle, a pub which was located in our hotel. We got to meet a lot of Elise's family from Maine and have a few Yuengling Drafts!
At 9:00 the next morning, the bridesmaids converged on City Looks to get all coiffed. It was a lot of fun to hang out with Leis, her sisters Mara and Amy and her friend Erika. (Charles' sister Deb was a bridesmaid, too, but did her own hair.) We went to Leis' house to finish getting ready and were off to the church to get in our dresses and have some photos taken.
The ceremony was beautiful. The bride was beautiful. The bridesmaids were beautiful... (he he) We took some pictures afterwards, then did some outdoor photos at the Country Club. Amy was quite the ham, posing for the camera!!
The reception was tons of fun!!! I danced a lot and visited a lot, too. Saying good-byes was the hard part (as always when I leave my SU friends) but I made it out of the Country Club with very few tears.
The pictures below tell the rest of the story!
