Friday dawned bright and early for those of us of us who had been up late, and we got up and showered in time to show up at the Stonecyphers' home for breakfast at 9. They had once again graciously opened their house to the members of the wedding party (and a few others -which would be Jorge, Marian, me and Emma), showing us beautiful hospitality as we came together to finish preparing for Brian and Leah's wedding.
After a lovely and relaxed breakfast of fruit, bagels, casseroles and coffee, we started in on the main reason for the get-together: dancing. Few of us had been blessed with grace on the dance floor, and we needed lots of practice.
We had so much fun! We laughed at, eh hem, with each other as we tried to figure out how to maneuver around each others' feet.

At about 10:30, even though we had become more "at ease" on our feet rather than "graceful", the party scattered off to wedding-prep related projects. The wedding was little more than a day away, and there was still much to be finished! I stayed with a few of the girls at the house, and we worked on greenery garlands and the bouquets for Leah and her bridesmaids. We used Queen Anne's Lace for "filler" flowers for the bouquets, and they turned out so romantic looking!

Even though the flowers for the wedding were a lot of work, we had so much fun doing them! If I am ever given the opportunity, I would love to work as a florist. Or in a bookshop. Or a little coffee shop. Or a combination ....
John, David and Brian R. picked me and Emma up at 2 and shuttled us to the church where the rehearsal dinner would be held that evening and then continued on their way to the rehearsal itself.
