Rehearsal was Thursday evening. Originally, we were going to have the rehearsal dinner at my nephew Brant and Kelsi, his wifes, house but they had hit a deer a week or two before rehearsal and Kelsi was 8 months pregnant. Her contractions had started and she spent a couple of days in the hospital trying to get the contractions stopped. Our good friends, Russel and Diane, offered to host the reception dinner for us.
