Rehearsal Dinner Deconstructed

This time last year, finishing touches were being put on a rehearsal dinner to be held in Columbus, Georgia. The mother of the groom and I had been planning for a few months. In just a few days our plan would become a reality. 

Because we wanted to make the rehearsal dinner as personal as possible for the bride and groom we brought geology, "the South", and the venue together in a cohesive way. As I think back on the process as a whole it could have been daunting. Surprisingly, it wasn't. It was a special time filled with fun and excitement.

The next few posts will highlight and detail some of the elements 

that went into the planning and execution of this special event.

  

  Many thanks to the groom's parents, Dick and Wendy, 

and to the bride and groom, 

Shannon and Crawford, for allowing me to do this series of posts.
