Rushing to the Finish Line

    The weeks leading up to the wedding were a bit of a blur (obviously, since no one managed to post any announcements for the wedding in the last few weeks.)   Jeff and Courtney - as well as their family- were busy planning and crafting out the last minute details of the ceremony and reception. And all their hard work was paid off with a very fun weekend!

     Courtney and Jeff had two wedding showers, one thrown by Jeff's side of the family and the other by Courtney's. The flower girls all got their dresses in and their hair pieces settled (all the girls wore some kind of headband for the ceremony) and the guys finished getting their tuxes the day before the ceremony (squeaking by!) Courtney decided on doing her own hair and makeup for the wedding as she liked the results from the bridal shoot so much she wanted to do it again for the wedding.

      The day before was Courtney's bachelorette luncheon at BJ's. Of course, it decided to snow in the morning, but most of the girls were able to make it to the lunch. Then we went over to Stephanie's house to do other bachelorette-y type things I shouldn't mention (wink!)

     The night before the wedding was the rehearsal dinner at Kendall's Restaurant in Noble, OK. The guests arrived to board games set out on the tables to encourage play and interaction between the bridal party and family. Chad beat Paul in a tight game of Chess that took nearly an hour and Kelcie beat Kate at many games, including Connect 4, battleship, matching game, and break the ice. We also did more important things at the rehearsal like go over the format for the wedding the next day. Bob Kelpine presided and Jamie made any last minute corrections to the speech as needed. Then we got to eat some delicious Southern style cookin' which was, undoubtedly, the best part of the night.

      The night ended with the girls going over to Courtney's for some more girl time as the guys headed to Chad's house in the city to do a bachelor party (board game night!) I don't really know what all happened there either, but they did play Cards Against Humanity at some point.

Can you tell who photobombed the session?

How about who photobombed this picture?

Hint: We don't know him at all!
