Ooh, There's Gonna Be Fireworks

Things could just not get any cooler at the rehearsal dinner.

Let's recap the details so far:
  • It's at a baseball game
  • The visiting team is the team I used to work for
  • Sweetie's singing the national anthem
  • I'm throwing out the first pitch
  • Guests will be participating in on-field promotions
  • Friends, co-workers and complete strangers who are not invited to the dinner are coming to the game just to join in the fun

Any one of those items you've got yourself a kick-ass event. Put all of them together and we've definitely put it up to eleven. Now we've even gone off THAT scale.

That's right, they're doing fireworks after the game. I don't think many brides and grooms get fireworks as part of their celebration. A fireworks show worth anything costs about $3,000 to stage, so I KNOW you aren't having fireworks on our budget. Unless your a pyromaniac and that's your biggest priority.

But me and Sweetie, WE get fireworks. Now the only thing that worries me is that the rehearsal dinner will be so amazingly kick-ass that at the wedding folks will be all, "Eh, this is OK, but were you at that rehearsal dinner last night!"

*mentally tabulating what could've been cut to free up $3,000 for fireworks.*

Woulda been totally worth it. Everybody likes Doritos, right?

Allergic to MSG, Joe--they'll have to be the organic Doritos (mmm...), and that costs more.

Send your Uncle Bob over the border or to the Indian reservation with a credit card. Bring him back to fire 'em off as you walk to the limo after the ceremony. It's a compromise...

but we got the real thing, bay-bee.
