a party to celebrate a party.

so what exactly is a dinner rehearsal? a rehearsal dinner is an informal meal after a wedding rehearsal, which will take place the night before the actual wedding... simple, right? nope. not for this couple. joseph's defintion of a dinner rehearsal is an oppurtunity to "throw a party to celebrate a party." after seeing how much alcohol was consumed at a dinner rehearsal we attended in summer of o7 & joseph's statement of "this is exactly how i want our dinner rehearsal to be," i confidently chose to have our rehearsal dinner the thursday night before the wedding... in hopes the bridal party will not be hungover on the big day. so we are going to throw a party to celebrate a party, in joseph's parents backyard, with "at least two" kegs & plenty of drunkenness. classy.

after a night of online window shopping for wedding ideas, i came across a dress that screamed my name and defined my character - simple&classy. since the dress was involving the majority of my attention, i did not notice where the dress originated; delia's - my dream catalog in my teenage years. what better dress to wear for my dinner rehersal than this simple white number that represents my younger years and years to come? now to find a cute pair of [preferably] blue flats. i successfully ordered the dress online today - i'm really hoping that my past luck with ordering through catalogs doesn't reflect when i try this dress on for the first time. it may be the same dress i wear to the shower if it turns out to be as perfect as i'm imagining.

so now the decision remains... what goes better with a ton of beer - hot dogs&hamburgers or a taco bar?
