After we showered and got pretty, Mr. Bear and I tried to take a head count of all the guests that had arrived and needed rides to our destination for the evening: Baytowne Wharf. Things got a little crazy when we all met at the bar in Camille’s Restaurant connected to the Beachside Inn and everyone decided to have a photo shoot. I’ll stick to the appropriate pictures…and even though it doesn’t look very crowded – there were about 20 people crammed into their not so big bar.
Me, my beautiful momma, gorgeous sister
Sam, GF, Me, T, L, Candice from Lovely Tonight
Mom, Dad, Me, and my future hubs
Momma and Daddy =0)
Check out my handsome Daddy!
The Future “H”s – or rather, the future Bears.
The W’s and the H’s – bestest friends =0)
Moving on… The plan was all us youngins (+ my parents) would take a taxi to BW and Mr. Bear’s family would meet us there. We ran into a problem when Mr. Bear’s friend’s pulled up 30 minutes before we were supposed to leave! The van had to either make two trips or squeeze everyone inside… we chose for one trip and squished seating =0)
My dad is in the middle of the craziness making up a rap song about his lost luggage…
Dont look at GF or her bf… notice my sister in the middle dancing to my dad’s song
We finally made it to Baytowne Wharf and found our two little flower girls (plus one adorable cousin) waiting for us at the bar! Just kidding… they are sitting at a countertop, haha.
D and L dancing away at Rum Runners… this was early on in the night before the fact that the a/c was broken started affecting all of us! In later photos you can totally tell we are all drenched in…sweat.

My BM T’s boyfriend Dean rocking one of the groomsmen’s hats
Mr. Bear playing peekaboo with L and my new brother-in-law’s gf Noelle – she is a doll!
Group photo at the dance club we took over – can’t think of the name but everyone in the place knew us and that we were a big wedding party!
This is probably the 35th time we requested “Rocky Top” – all of our non-UT friends were hating that song by the end of the weekend.
My cousin Sam and groomsman Jeff – they were aisle partners and made quite the entrance at the reception!
This is one of my favorite pictures… Mr. Bear doesn’t normally break it down in public so that is one reason why I like it… the second is the look on my face… the third reason is Candice’s husband, whom we call Watkins, bustin a move all on his own… and Candice has her hands up in front of her saying “Watch out now” – or maybe not… but that is what I think is going on haha. You can also see our friend Wes (stripe shirt) singing along to whatever song is playing!
I guess I’ll end our night there… GF already posted a picture of our friend Jeff joining the band on stage and that was the cherry on the sundae! Stay tuned for rehearsal day!
