The first event we attended was the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. We had dinner with Larry and Janet who must have been jetlagged because they couldn't keep their eyes open. JonMarens was in better spirits as was Paige and Gregory was bubbling with laughter which distracted Suzanne's face away from the camera. This amused Sarah and David but seemed to make Jane and Benjamin nervous though they thought their roll looked just fine.

Fran and Dick looked like proud parents of the bride as Sylvia greeted Marty from Chicago Florence was happy as Harry posed with the bride to be and Reva engaged Janet in conversation. But perhaps, Matt and his pals were having the best time of all as many of the Dobkin women posed together which brought a strange expression to Dan's face

After dinner there were the speeches by Dick which Michelle and Jason watched with great interest, then by Sylvia Michelle and Tricia Finally Betsy and Matt talked about how happy they were to be here and we all went off to rest up for the main event.
