Nick and Carly's Rehearsal Dinner

We began the evening by taking a party bus to the wedding venue for the rehearsal. Terri was a champ and followed the bus with the kids on board. The wedding rehearsal went really well, the kids actually listened and Cole pulled Carlyn in the wagon (the cutest thing ever!)

After we ran through the ceremony Brett helped his mom re-load the kids and Terri took them back to the hotel....

back into the party bus we went and headed into downtown L.A.

woo hoo!
we walked up to the condo.....to say this place is amazing would be an understatement. We were overlooking The Staples Center!!! The Los Angeles Sky Line From This View Was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

aaannnnddddd....just your everyday Staples Center and Ritz Carlton Hotel

One of the best parts of this night were all the speeches given! They went all night....Brett was the only one who brought the whole room to tears with his speech to Carly and Nick. I wish I had the whole thing on video because it was outstanding!

hugs after the speech with a teary-eyed bride-to-be

Grandpa Perry, love that man!

the bus after we came back to the hotel :) Our best attempts for an after party were soon shot down as we quickly realized it was a Thursday night and not much is open this late

An amazing time given by the Carter's and a perfect way to start out the Wedding Weekend!!!!!!!
