A Zoom Rehearsal Dinner

Once we arrived in Austin, we quickly unloaded and then began thinking about dinner.  Since we did not stop on the way down, except for gas and bathroom breaks (and a Starbucks), we were quite hungry.  We had planned to eat spaghetti, but we forgot the pressure cooker and Di had not left any cookware in the condo, so Daniel went to pick up a pizza from their favorite pizza place.

Unbeknownst to them, I had arranged with Daniel's parents, Kenneth and Melinda, and Daniel's sisters to have a Zoom rehearsal dinner.  The wedding couple was surprised to see their relatives online, and although it would have been better in person, this worked amazingly well.

Becky started out with a very moving toast to Di and Daniel, and we had the appropriate champagne with which to toast.  As we made our way through the group, each person added their well wishes, complete with laughs and tears, which made the impromptu rehearsal dinner a little more real.  Never mind that we were all in our traveling clothes and a bit weary!!!

Afterwards, it was time to get ready for the big day ahead . . . which included meeting with the new condo property manager, awaiting FedEx for the delivery of Daniel's forgotten suit, and the arrival of Daniel's parents, not to mention the wedding.
