Rehearsal (or, the pre-party)

The day after graduation, we got up in the wee hours of the morning and started the drive down to North Carolina for the BIG event of the weekend - Cameron's wedding.

We had a little car trouble on the way down, and spent a couple of hours at a rest stop trying to figure it out, but we made it eventually. Saturday afternoon was the rehearsal (which we just missed - sorry dude), and then the rehearsal dinner. It was a pretty big party, and it was great to see so many fun people. The dinner was at a another vineyard near the wedding vineyard. It was a very pretty place. The kids had had a very long day, so I left pretty early to put them to bed. It was still a late night for them though (they're usually in bed around 7:00).

Patrick and the other guys got to stay up and enjoy some tasty beverages and quality time with Cameron and each other, which was great since there was no time for any sort of bachelor party. I thought it was cool to see all the various groups of people from different times in Cam's life all together and having a great time with each other. His brothers (and brother-in-law), life-long best friends, his high school guys, fellow Marines, and guys from the Academy were all there, along with some of their families.

I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few.



The groom!

Miss Molly - I didn't get a picture of her with Tallie in their matching dresses, but they sure were cute!

Elijah and Piper spent most of the evening wandering around the grounds with Uncle Stuart - they had a great time together.

Pretty.
