ReplyDeleteSorry that sounds stalkerish ;p
For my rehearsal dinner...I dunno. I think I'll let my fiance pick that. He doesn't have many opinions when it comes to the wedding details, but whenever I mention the food he's suddenly very interested! He does like steak houses, and since we won't be doing beef for the wedding meal I could see doing Outback Steakhouse!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to more free time. The kids will be away part of the summer at sleep away camp.

My inlaws threw our rehearsal dinner at a banquet hall called the Bartlett Ballroom, it was buffet style and I'm not really a fan of buffets. I probably would have picked something else if I had any say in it but my MIL insisted that it was a surprise and I'm grateful that they threw us a dinner so I guess it really didn't matter where it was!
