I wanted our rehearsal dinner to be intimate, but above all, relaxing for both yt and myself. After considering several Chicago restaurants, we decided that the best venue of all would be at his parents home in the suburbs. I couldn't have asked for anything more. We supplied a few of the special details - DIY seating cards, lots of flowers that we couldn't use elsewhere in the wedding, and all of our favorite foods from our fave Turkish restaurant in Chicago. Add in a fire pit at dusk, best friends, lots of food and beverages and you've got the BEST rehearsal dinner.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures:
mom and sisters before the rehearsal

siblings - love you all.
my grandma - this one is a keeper.
the best friends a girl could ask for.
