Is she worried about the blue stuff on her legs?  I know I was questioning it!!

Mollie and Mary multitasking?

Rehearsal Time - Yates Baptist Church

With all the people involved, a well organized rehearsal was a MUST!  Thanks to Martha's ability to whip us into shape, we all knew what to do.

Martha trying to explain to the guys where to stand.  For these guys, that's a tough thing to get!!  Making them stand still for more than 2 minutes is practically impossible. :)

Cutest flower girl ever?!?

Here comes the bride

Rehearsal Dinner - University Club

My parents put together a very nice and memorable evening with all of the wedding party and many of our close family and friends, both from our family and Allison's side of the family.  We all had some great trips down memory lane as well!
