After rushing around like a mad woman all day, we finally made it to our rehearsal just a few minutes after 6. I should have been exhausted and I was probably stinky since I hadn't had a chance to shower all day, but all I could think was how excited I was to just do this thing!
It's been said here about a thousand times before, but I'll say it again: Please rehearse! You'd be surprised at how hard it is to get a group of adults to walk down an aisle and stand next to each other. Especially in a space like ours (the beach) where there is no altar or aisle or anything to make the process easy, I cannot stress the importance of rehearsing it at least one time through.
After I managed to gather everyone and drag them down to the beach and got everyone in the somewhat correct order we walked through our entrances.

Then we stood around for a few minutes and got comfortable with our places.

At this point I was starving, so I declared rehearsal to be over and dinner to begin! We transferred our boxes to our DOC along with my master list of items and PowerPoint presentation of set-up and answered her last minute questions. It was at this point that I began to have some doubts about our DOC (you'll hear more about this later), but instead of panicking I decided to let it go and let someone else deal with her which was definitely the best thing I could have done. I don't know if it was hunger or bridal ignorance, but I was suddenly in a daze where I wasn't going to let anything or anyone bother me.
Instead, I joined our family and friends for our big Italian rehearsal dinner, up next!
