Taking the Plunge

What a weekend! Clancy and Jack have now officially "taken the plunge." The weekend began with the bridesmaid brunch at my house Friday morning. Then, we went to the rehearsal at 4:00. It was a little crazy around our house. Mama and Kristin finished up some things at the church while Daddy and Lee took care of Farley for the day and picked up Pops to get him dressed and ready for the rehearsal. Daddy and Lee met Kristin and Mama to help set up for the rehearsal dinner. By the time Daddy got back and helped dress Pops, it was 3:45. The rehearsal was 30 minutes away! Daddy quickly got dressed, and we headed to the car only to realize we didn't have the keys. We searched frantically before all loading up in Russ's car around 3:55. Once we were a little ways down the road, I found the keys in my purse! We turned around so Daddy could get his car. We finally got on the road at 4!! Flying. Dustin was somewhere between Starkville and Jackson with a dead phone and not sure of directions. He eventually found his way to the church around 5. It was quite the excitement.

But, the rest of us made it to the rehearsal just in time to begin. Obviously, things were a little behind anyway. Ha!

The rehearsal went just as the wedding would, and we all headed to Florence for the rehearsal dinner at Clancy and Jack's new home. And, it was in Clancy and Jack style! A crawfish boil! Everything was so cute!

Kristin changed out the ribbon on the R from the brunch, and now it is ready for crawfish.

Cute gerber daisies on the tables

Kristin, Lee, Russ, Mama, and I got there early to set up the last minute details. Russ's job - take pictures of course! The crawfish crew was busy cooking away!

Ready for guests

Then, the guests began to arrive. It was nothing but fun and crawfish from that point on. Everything was very cute and very relaxed. The weather was nice and breezy.

Mmmmm...

When the crawfish was ready, they dumped the crawfish out onto the plywood boards and people gathered 'round to eat...

Russ stayed in that spot ALL night!

Daddy found a seat to eat

Some guests ate crawfish until way after we left, while others visited, danced, laughed, and just cut up!

Jack fired up his own grill and started grilling deer sausage.

Such a fun night! Thank you, Clancy and Jack, for having us all over to your new home!

It's official! Clancy and Jack are "taking the plunge!"
