Sammy & Alyse's Rehearsal & Dinner

We celebrated Sammy and Alyse's wedding weekend December 16-17th, 2011.  I'm a little behind on posting the pictures, but better late than never!  We started off the rehearsal evening at First Baptist Paducah to rehearse the ceremony.

Jan, Sammy, and Mark practicing-doesn't Jan look so happy?!

After the rehearsal at the church, we headed to Patti's restaurant at Patti's 1880's Settlement in Grand Rivers, KY, for dinner.  Patty's is known in KY for their pork-chops, but everything on the menu is delicious.  Patty's has also been featured in Southern Living for both the southern cookin' and the gorgeous Christmas decorations throughout the restaurant.

Kyle, Isaac, Daniel, Aaron and Katie at the rehearsal dinner
Owain and Leah-engaged to be married next month and expecting Lulu to arrive in May!
Gabe and Donna-last night as the newlyweds of the family
Alyse and Sammy-can't wait to get married tomorrow!
Abby giving her speech at the rehearsal-not sure what she said but it sure did make Nikki crack up!
Alyse's dad giving his speech-notice how beautifully the room was decorated, floor to ceiling.

Sammy receiving his tool belt from the brothers.  This tradition started at our wedding.  Isaac had told Josh that it wasn't fair that I got to have a lingerie shower but he didn't get to have a tool shower...Josh took that in a totally different direction during his speech at our rehearsal dinner and really embarrassed us, but we got him back the following summer at his wedding with an actual "honeymoon tool belt", which has been passed on through all the Treesh boys.

I just loved the decorations that evening-such a beautiful setting for a special celebration.

Daniel and Abby
