Our "Themed" Rehearsal Dinner

If this photo is any indication ...

Mr. BB; Age:  Approximately 6 or 7



My FI was destined to become a cowboy.  It's pretty clear that this career path didn't work out ... so instead, playing one at our rehearsal dinner is going to have to do.  For now, anyways.

As mentioned in a previous post, our rehearsal dinner is going to be in a barn ... complete with straw on the ground, a petting zoo, and a "cowboy" theme.  Not your traditional location for the night before a wedding, but, at this point, does it matter?  Here were the top three reasons for our desire for a hoe-down as our rehearsal dinner:  (1) we wanted something different & innovative, (2) we wanted the night to go with the vibe of the rest of the weekend, informal & fun, and (3) I wanted an excuse to wear cowboy boots, specifically, metallic ones.

Luckily, Mr. BB's parents agreed to support our wish for dinner in the barn, and this past Saturday, along with my future husband & mother-in-law, I attended a tasting for our rehearsal dinner.  We couldn't have been happier with the result, and are now even more excited for our themed event.  The food was yummy & perfect for the location.  What is on the menu?  The best crabcakes I have ever had, Mr. BB's favorite:  pasta salad & terayaki chicken skewers, and an assortment of to die for desserts ... to name a few.  Here we are sampling the menu:



Notice the extra large smile on Mr. BB's face ... sampling food has definitely been one of his favorite parts of this planning process (It is safe to say his face was not nearly as excited on DIY water bottle day).
