The rehearsal dinner was tonight. Things were crazy, but everything was nice and the food was incredible. Kent and I will be eating at this place regularly once we're back in the area. Several people got up to give toasts. My dad said I had steel in my soul while he told the story of our flurry of a move to Galveston and my insistence to not put

I really am so excited for you! Where was your rehersal dinner? what did you eat? details details!!!

The dinner was at a place in Denton called the Abbey Inn. (Actually, it was in their basement, the Boiler Room, so that we had a private space for the dinner.) We had fish and chips and cottage pie (shepherd's pie made with prime rib and cheddar mashed potatos), green beans, and an orzo salad. Kent's meme made TONS of different family recipes for dessert--shortbread (omg!), chocolate cake, something she calls "better than fruitcake," coconut pie (it's like pecan pie, but the nuts are replaced with coconut), and Amish friendship bread (cinnamon and sugar quick bread--one of my favorites of all the things she makes).

Forgot to mention our appetizers. We had scotch eggs and spring rolls. It was my first time having scotch eggs and OHMYGOD!!! I'm so hooked. Kent's promised to make me a batch in the next day or two. :)
