J and K's wedding, Part 2

Saturday morning and another bright day at the lake house for all the assembled gang.  More volleyball and friscup, and then in the early afternoon, a couple of hours of setting up tables and chairs and decorating at the Felt Mansion ballroom for the reception.  Things sure do go alot more quickly with a crowd to help.

I did a bit more running on Saturday with helping at the mansion, then going to the rehearsal dinner venue to take food, picking up my parents from Saugatuck and then back to the chapel for the rehearsal.  Andrew was my set-up helper for the dinner.  I was very, very thankful for his help, and for the way all the guys pitched in with whatever needed to be done.  Everyone should have lots of brothers to help them when they get married.  Makes things easier!

A few rehearsal photos....

The cutest ring bearer and flower girl ever...lured down the aisle by one of the dads blowing bubbles at the front!

We did have fun!


Just practicing...

And then when we were done with the rehearsal...

...on to this beautiful spot on the Kalamazoo River for a casual, relaxed rehearsal dinner.  Pizza, salad, soda, and some homemade pies and pound cake.


We sat out on the wrap around porch and watched the swans and kayakers on the river...





Clara and Will get acquainted...


Kisses!!

And then it was time to practice the Bollywood dance to Jai Ho on the lawn.  I hear there's going to be a youtube version of the group dancing at the reception.  I'll link to it when it gets posted!

What a fun evening!  Thanks to Kathy and Tom arranging with their friends, the Lambs, for the use of the house for the evening.  It was really a special place for a special gathering!
