The Rehearsal Dinner


After nervously rehearsing the wedding ceremony details in Congress Park, the weekend began with a wonderful Rehearsal Dinner at Lillian's restaurant on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. Table 1 Table 2The dinner was filled with lots of love, laughter and happy tears, as we all had the opportunity to take some time-out together before the big day.




Grandparents We were most pleasantly surprised by gifts from my sister, Vickie, and my mom, Sandie. Vickie gave us a beautiful hand-crafted wedding quilt, which, incidentally, is very similar to the border of this page, and my mom gave us a beautiful handmade cross-stitched "Wedding Announcement". AnnouncementStuffed from the food and spent from the excitement, the evening slowly wound down...or so we thought.




Meanwhile, back at the Adelphi, Grampa Dannecker had his own plans for the night. These plans entailed more merriment in the lobby of the hotel, replete with a fully stocked bar on the coffee table (See red circle in following picture). Grandpa's Bar In fact, this bar was one of the weekend's highlights. In true Dannecker style, Grampa actually went to the "real" bar and asked the bartender for glasses, etc. to stock his own bar! Needless to say, this made for a late night and a great time for us and many of our out-of-town guests--so much fun that one of our guests who shall remain anonymous had a slight mishap down a nasty flight of stairs! Those Damn Stairs Well, somebody was bound to do it--and at least the beer bottles didn't break!
