White Chimney's Wedding Venue ~ Rehearsal Day!

 When we began the search for wedding venues, we had many places to call, check prices, see availability and then make a final decision.  Many venues were booked out a year ahead.  We made our final choice with a venue Hadassah found!  White Chimney's just ten minutes from home!!!!  How perfect!

A few things Hadassah really wished for were 1.) a white barn for the reception but an outdoor ceremony!  2.) A bridal suite area where the bridesmaids can all get ready together.  3.) A pretty location!

White Chimneys had it all!  The gardens, the big round water fountain was just stunning!  A huge, old pergola where they got married under!  A beautiful, new bridal suite on site and the groomsmen had a loft in the barn where they got ready and spent time together before wedding time!  The venue also had a coordinator option and I wanted this!!!!  To have someone help with when to take photos, keep the day moving smoothly and not be asking me questions the day of the wedding but rather have that on the wedding coordinator!  It all worked out so perfectly!!!!!

Because Hadassah and Jeremiah chose a Friday night wedding, we had the privilege to go the day before and set up the barn, set up decor and prepare a day early!  I really liked this too!

Peyton and Rita were there for Hadassah and Jere so much!  They took off the day before the wedding to help with set up!  They brought them breakfast!  What great friends!

I had family stop in and help the day before!  Jody was there for me!  I appreciated that!  She ran for more forks and extra napkins.  Some set tables and napkins!  Some helped with the bridal table!  It all went great!  Thank you everyone!

I went home to take a quick breather and change into clean clothes and then Ryan (he was around for the wedding too!) dropped off Ashlyn and Austin and we got ready for the wedding rehearsal!

I had my small organizer and hoped the rehearsal would run smooth and quick.  We only had an hour because the couple that was getting married on Saturday also had rehearsal on this night.

The Littles did so good all week!!!!  I love how Jeremiah interacts with them!

Family and bridal party and ministers started showing up!

We went through the wedding plans and practiced it twice!

XOXO!!!!

   The little people did great!!!!!

They are so excited!!!!

After rehearsal hour, we all went to Sam and Lena Riehl for a dinner.  Jeremiah's mom planned this and it was absolutely beautiful!!!!  The place, the food and EVERYTHING was perfect!!!!

The plans were for the boys to eat and then go play their baseball game!  I'm telling you, it was a crazy week and they really hoped to play the game!  They won!

I knew Mike was kinda wishing to go watch but my head was just full and tired and all I really wanted to do was go home and relax.  And make sure we had all our clothes ready for the big day and just rest!

It was beautiful to watch the children jump on the trampoline in the sunset after baths!  We relaxed on the back porch and prepared ourselves for the big day tomorrow!

Everyone is tucked in bed.  I had clothes all lined up on the dining room table.  WE ARE READY!!!!

Now to get some sleep before Hadassah's wedding day arrives!!!!
