We took three vehicles. This is one of them. :P
We left around 8 a.m. so we had to stop for coffee. Well, my coffee cup got stuck by a safety pin that was sitting in the cupholder. As long as I kept it in there the cup didn't leak!
Rest stop
We got to our destination with no hitches! Here we are cutting up tomatoes for the salad.
Washing the serving dishes.
Making little meat, olive, and cheese appetizers

The kale smelled interesting.

They are actually real potatoes. They're so good!
Dad likes to add onion and garlic powder plus a little sour cream to them.

See Ben's phone up there? He did a time laps of us working from when the bridal table servers came to when we were cleaning up. :)
Some of us quickly grabbed a bite to eat before we had to serve desserts.
Some of us didn't get to finish because we had to start serving the desserts!
Almost all the leftovers and the dirty dishes. :)
