Let the wedding festivities begin...

The wedding weekend has finally arrived. 5 years ago this month I introduced my brother to a co-worker of mine & at the time I never thought we would be where we are today - celebrating the wedding of my brother Steve & dear friend Meghan.

All our family arrived to KC today & everyone is staying at the Hilton by the airport. I am staying at home tonight but will check in to the hotel Friday to be closer to family. Plus it will save time & money not having to drive back & forth to the Northland everyday.

At 4pm I made my way north to meet everyone at the Hawthorne House chapel for the rehearsal. We went through the "walk-thru" of how the wedding is going to take place & spent some time visiting with family.

Afterwards, we headed over to the Zona Rosa area for the rehearsal dinner at the Hereford House. We dined on a dee-lish KC BBQ meal which consisted of a salad, chicken breast, brisket & beef ribs with garlic mashed potatoes & broccoli. Then a huge piece of chocolate cake was served which made for a yummy ending to an awesome meal.

After we ate, we all headed back to the hotel & all met in the lounge for an after-dinner cocktail. It was nice to be able to visit with relatives I hadn't seen in awhile & spend some down-time with my family.
