Kristen & Kevin got married May 23, 2009 - Pictage Gallery is already posted and can be accessed thru the proofs link of our main website - but the night before was also very special. The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner was all about family and their closest friends, many who traveled long distances to be here with them. As everyone knows, the groom's family is responsible for hosting the rehearsal dinner. Sally and Nelson Rice went the extra mile to welcome everyone and treat them to an awesome evening. The rehearsal itself took a about an hour at Asbury United Methodist church and then we all zipped over to 61st & Yale to D'Novo restaurant and LXI cocktail lounge, which closed to the public for this private party, so they had the entire place to themselves...all night long! We walked into the most impeccably dressed room I've ever seen. Anne Marie of The French Bouquet really rocked the flowers - orchids everywhere in tall glass cylinders and mounds of white hydrangeas and lilies - it was sweet! Little cards with their names and one of their engagement photos filled each napkin, as a keepsake of the evening. Cocktails and passed hors d'ouvres at LXI followed by a delicious dinner next door at D'Novo. The food was fabulous. If you don't know this, D'Novo prepares and serves food that is low in fat and calories - I can't believe it because it was just too good to be good for you, you know? An evening of toasts, tears and laughter wrapped up with a video presentation created by Kevin's brother Tanner, which was a combination of hilarious and sentimental and the perfect ending to a wonderful night. I understand that many stayed on into the wee hours at LXI but I had to work the next day (ha ha!). Here's a few of the highlights but all the photos from the rehearsal dinner are also in the Pictage gallery if you want to take a look!
