Travis and Tara's Rehearsal Dinner

Travis and Tara's Wedding Rehearsal and Dinner!
August 8, 2003

To practice for taking pictures on the big day Saturday, Tara's mother took pictures on Friday, to get the hang of using Travis's new camera. Here they are, for your viewing pleasure.

Here's Travis practicing putting the ring on Tara's hand.

Adrienne, Tara, Travis, and Joanie are all looking different directions. If you include Tara's mother as the photographer, that would be at least five people, none appearing to be paying attention to any of the others. Tara has the bouquet from the bridal shower the previous evening, made out of the ribbons used in wrapping the presents for her.

Here's Mikey rehearsing the "walk down the aisle" part with Tara, who needed practice.

To celebrate Travis's ethnic heritage, we were going to do this 'circle dance' in lieu of the receiving line, but due to difficulties remembering which way to turn, it was scratched from the final activity list. Here Travis is trying to teach it to us. Barb (shown spinning in her frock) was the only one who could remember which way to turn. Oh well. Everyone seemed happy, at least.

Here's Tara's sister Autumn posing for a picture.

Adrienne (Travis's sister-in-law) and John Thomas.

Afterwards, we went down to one of Tara's Favorite Restaurants - Buster's Beach House in Seaport Village for a relaxing meal.

	Here's Travis and Tara looking at each other.
	Barb and Cady. Cady was so adorable and well behaved that she was irresistable.

Here's Rusty giving Tara some good advice. Tara's not sure who's nicer - Travis or Rusty. They're both pretty good guys.
	Cady and Chris watching Craig eat a Habanero. If only we had gotten a picture of Craig's face at this point!

Travis's parents Jack and Barbara. Grammy's holding little JT! Perhaps Travis took this picture.
	Travis and the little cutie! We could rename this the Cady page. She's just so adorable! and observant! and polite! and well behaved! Travis likes her too.
