Rehearsal Dinner

The happy couple.
Well don't we look lovely!

The rehearsal dinner was in Gatlinburg a VERY touristy town. My sister would have wanted to stay about 2 hours and walk up and down the strip of shops. There was a Ben and Jerry's! I was so sad we couldn't go there. :) Wish I could have gotten pictures of this strip-Billy likened it to Panama City, FL. Anyway...we were zooming too fast to make it to the dinner place.

The dinner was fun and tasty! But the real fun came when after dessert it began to pour down rain and hail! Yikes. The room began to flood so we all frantically moved out, happy it happened at the end of our night! Well we braved the hour long drive back up to the treacherous mountain in torrential rain and debris covering the road to arrive to our cabins with the power out! IF this wasn't enough to throw us off, our back door had flown open during the storm and covered our living room in rainwater. There was water everywhere! On all the furniture, the rugs were soaked, our books were all wet. Thankfully our laptop was on the far side of the living room and did not get wet! wowza.

So we had a somewhat restful night and are up early thinking we might trek back down the mountain and go into town to shop and walk around a bit. Billy has had the best time sleeping and reading. This has actually been a relaxing vacation for us! Today is hair and make-up and the wedding and reception in an adorable little white chapel on the hill. I'll try to post those pics tonight!
