Rehersal is were we met up with a lot of the family as a lot
of them were groomsmen and they brought their familys and all three sets 
of parents. We had a rather LARGE rehersal group (ie 45 to 50 is my guess).

Rehersal went very fast and very quick. Which was the only 'real' downfall
of the whole thing because it left us and our bridal party somewhat confused 
the next day, but we all managed fine in the end, i am just saying it could 
have been run more effectively and efficiently.  

The dinner was great. We got to see alot of the relatives from out of town, 
hand out our gifts etc. We had it at a little Chinese resturant just a mile 
or so from the church.  It went over pretty well, only know of a few who really 
didnt like what we had chosen.  

After the rehersal is were Craig and I split.  Since so many of
his brothers are out of town he had his party that night...

i was supposedly only to have a short shower at the hotel with some of the
family and a few friends. Most of Craigs sisters wanted to have all the
children there and so it was a real simple shower with mainly gifts and
stuff like that.  

Then when we were leaving, Jeanne, Kim, and Brooke convinced me to stop at 
a local bar and have 'okay just one' drink....

we ended up drinking three or four..i don't drink beer, so i drank mainly
whisky sours so three or four was plenty for me...we watched a UGLLLLY
looking transvestite (spelling???). It was very very awful...He/She
could have done a much better job with themself...

So then Jeanne took me home at ohhh about 3 am the night before 
(mind you our wedding starts at NOON and pictures are at 9am SHARP so i was 
telling everyone at the time)..So to say the least I was very tired and didnt 
have ANY problems sleeping...
