Rehersal Dinner

The Happy Couple
Gus & Jean























Everyone standing around watching the pinata proceedings.

I made those cool "car lot flags" with fabric scraps--sewed them onto yarn.














The mother-of-the-bride preparing to be blindfolded for pinata whacking.














Rachel (L), Jean's college friend, flew in from the Philippines to be a bridesmaid.
Wera (R), who attended Jean's high school as a foreign exchange student flew in from Germany to be a bridesmaid.














The lovely Emily Jones, high school friend from Indiana and a huge helper-outter.














Alex, Margie, Kelin (bridesmaid) & Elpi (bridesmaid) -- all Hastings friends.














We had pizza, wings & beer; smacked around a pinata; then lit some tikki torches and hung out by the fire--a very laid back and very fun backyard rehersal dinner.
