Rehearsal

We had the rehearsal dinner at the Aston Waikiki, which is basically on the beach in Waikiki, up on the 21st floor. There was a great deck overlooking the ocean. After eating dinner, and about ten minutes before we had to leave the space, Brandon decided that it might be a good idea to "run through this thing." He, of course, was the only one who had (and had seen) a script and the rest of us kind of stood around and were a pain in the ass.

Adam's playing the part of the minister in this photo, which has a view great bits to it. Perhaps it's Erinn, looking at her watch, Linda laughing her head off, Vanessa wondering if this is going to work after all, or Amy, looking at Brandon and thinking, "Wait, what the hell am I doing again?"



Emily and Maria enjoy some sun outside while the rest of us try to rehearse. If you had seen this "rehearsal," you'd have been amazed at how well things actually turned out. Then again, that's kind of relative, what with the limo being late to pick up the ladies in the morning, then breaking down, then pushing the time later, then ...



Maria and I at the hotel. Since Adam played the part of the minister for the wedding, I thought I could get one of the waiters to play my part in the wedding and go outside to enjoy the weather. The other fun part about the rehearsal was that the guys all showed up in pants and Brandon showed up late in shorts. Nice.



Hey! Random photo of The Bus (what was actually called) that we never took. Public transport seemed to be pretty decent in Waikiki.



Part of Brandon's "bachelor party" was Benihana, which many of us hadn't been to. It's quite interesting, since they cook right in front of you. The chefs are pretty amazing and the food isn't so bad, either. The price was a bit much, but I think it's something that should be experienced every once in a while.
