Engagement and Rehearsal Pictures

Our engagement photos were taken a month before the wedding. It was misting and we were giggly. The rehearsal ceremony was even more giggly.

All our photos were taken by Joe Karcher. The engagement photos were taken in Joe's backyard. Chris normally wears glasses, but with the mist, he had to take them off. This is one of Bonnie's favorite pictures. Chris kept whispering things to make Bonnie laugh... ...things like "gorilla o's." We're a totem pole! Bonnie tickles Chris... and gets away with it! Bonnie was 45 minutes late to the rehearsal ceremony. This is everyone waiting. Etiwanda Gardens has a beautiful koi pond. Distracting, yes? Don(our coordinator) talks to the bridesmaids, Jessica, Caitlin, Tamara, &... Don talks to the groomsmen, Jeff, Jon, and John. Here's our first practice run. Sylvia (our minister) kept us calm. Thank you! Bonnie can't stop giggling. Sylvia also kept us on track while we pondered things like candles and roses. Our rehearsal audience was super patient! Kazia guarded our purses too. We look so serious - I wonder why? Sylvia waits with the groomsmen for another practice run. Getting married apparently takes a lot of practice. Jessica, Chris's sister, walks down the aisle. Caitlin, Bonnie's sister, walks down the aisle. This is our last run before the real thing - eep!
