Whew - it was a whirlwind weekend for us Maryland Hartmans. We flew out of BWI on Thursday evening at 6:30 pm. It had been raining and raining and raining here, in the 60s. Chilly, wet, almost not quite miserable. When we landed at Las Vegas at 8:55 Pacific Time (11:55 Maryland time), the pilot announced "welcome to Las Vegas where it is currently a balmy 96 degrees!" Wow! Rachel was on a different flight, but landed just minutes before we did, so we caught up with her quickly. Then we found our chauffeur (smile Uncle Tim!).
Tim whisked us away into the night - and found the bachelorette party where we promptly dropped off Rachel. Oh I wish I had had my camera at the ready! Words cannot due justice to the sight of the bride to be and her maid of honor as they hurried outside to greet their cousin, auntie and uncle! We will just say the "accessories" were appropriate for a bachelorette party. The father of the bride might have even blushed!
Friday we got to shop a little with Grandom (Peggy) and then that evening we enjoyed the rehearsal dinner prepared by Jeremy & Brittany Hartman, LLC - A Fine Catering Firm. We would highly recommend this couple to anyone - do you know that Brittany was even kind enough to teach me how to eat an artichoke!!!
Now come some photos. I apologize in advance for the many family members that I did not get in pictures. For some reason I seemed to focus on the bride and groom - duh.
This appeared to be a serious conversation between Mother and son. Cooper looks a little concerned.
Bride and groom appear relaxed after the rehearsal and dinner.
