What a wonderful weekend!
Ali and Jimmy's rehearsal dinner was at the Tennessee Smokies
minor league ballpark. They rented an indoor/outdoor private area
with seats to the game for all their guests. There was even a fireworks show
after the game was over! Everyone had a great time.
(Unfortunately I forgot to charge my camera battery the night before and it died,
so i didn't get many pics from Friday night and
didn't get one of the cake...very cool. It was a base with a UT baseball hat sitting on it)

about to cut the cake, which was delicious.
bottom layer was white cake with strawberry filling,
middle layer was chocolate cake with fudge filling.

tasting the cake, there was only a little icing-face smearing
the traditional champagne swig
at the end of the night, after a few hours of dancing
PARTY!
