Grand USA Tour: Stop #4 Indiana - 02 Josh and Courtney Rehearse

July 31st

I went and wandered around campus for a bit and then met with my grad-school advisor.  It was lovely to chat with him.

FYI Josh and Courtney are getting married at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of the University of Notre Dame.

Campus has added a lot of flowery landscaping since I was last here.  

This was Dan's dorm, Alumni.

Onto the rehearsing!

But first, the good stuff.

And some nail touch ups.

And some waiting.  Dan, Rory, and Kerri.

Once again, I don't know who a lot of these people are, but here are photos of them anyway.

Groomsmen: Dan and Will as co-Best Men, Chris (brother of the groom), Rory, Eric and Jeff (brothers of the bride), and Mike.  Matt, the other brother of the groom, was not in town yet.

Mr. and Mrs. Talley.

Mrs. Parry and......cousin who's name I don't remember.

Mike and Tricia...maybe.

Rory and Jenifer.

Chris and Ashley.

Dan and the wedding coordinator.  His bridesmaid wasn't here yet.

The flower girls.  They were bribed with Skittles.

Mr. Parry and Courtney.

This is the cover for Kerri's solo album.

Woo!  Rehearsed Married!

Now for some milling about:

Mr. Talley and Dave.

And then there was the Rehearsal Dinner at Legends:

The moms.

Tomorrow is the big day!  

This concludes our day of rehearsing.

Grand USA Tour: Stop #4 Indiana - 01 Josh and Courtney BBQ

July 29th

Dan and I flew from Denver to Chicago O'Hare.  We rented a car and we drove into downtown to meet up with my friend Ariel for an early dinner.  We then picked my brother Colin up from Midway and drove to South Bend, Indiana.


July 30th

Courtney's brother and sister-in-law had a BBQ out at their place in Bremen, IN.  I only know who a third of these people are, but that's okay.

Kerri, Will, Dan, Rory, Colin, and Josh.

Rory, Will, Josh, and Dan.

Somebody's....aunt?  I dunno.  Ashley and Dave.

Peter and Astrid.  Joe, Josh, Dan, Colin, and Mike.

Will is not entertained.

Courtney, Grandma, and Josh.

Trying to play Carcassonne.  It's a good game.  You should get it.

Mrs. Parry, Courtney, and Colin.

Watching the photo slideshow.

And then there was fire and fireworks:

We'll conclude the evening with a photo of a ghost.

BBQ complete.
