Dinner rehearsal.

We've all been attending Chrissy's dance rehearsals for several weeks now and I genuinely believe that's the best anyone is going to get. They're not completely horrible, just a little harder to choreograph. We have a few more practices before the big ball so they'll probably show more improvement.

Hopefully.

I've been getting Kyle right at home though. He will not have us looking a mess. The boy can move, just takes a lot of patience when teaching him, which I have because I love dancing.

The weeks have just been flying by and we're now only about a month out from Chrissy and Ryan's wedding, hints dinner rehearsal.

I was a little nervous about this one because only her immediate family attended the dance rehearsals, Sandra Sebastian Noah Maria. My dawgs ultimately. But there's far more people at this dinner rehearsal.

Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins.

People I've all met before but it's been a fat ass minute.

Nonetheless I'm excited for Christiana, her big day is coming up so fast and despite all the stress I know she can't wait.

She deserves to finally settle down and be secure with someone she loves and more importantly someone who loves her.

Everyone dressed elegant, fancy dresses and suits. I've been helping Kyle upgrade his suit collection so while everyone wore ordinary black and navy blue suits Kyle had on a black turtleneck tucked into olive green dress pants with his suede black loafers. His hair was gelled back and he had on his gold chain and Rolex.

The man was fine.

It's so fun witnessing his style change while he's with me. I remember when we first met back in college, he only wore khaki shorts and polos. Basic as fuck.

Can't say that shit now. My boy done came up.

I had on a simple olive green spaghetti strap dress that fit lousy so it wouldn't hug my curves too much. And I wore black sandals with my toes painted black. My hair was pulled up into a bun on the top of my head with a few curls framing my face. I didn't wear any makeup but I did put on some pearl earrings and a matching necklace.

Lastly Lexi wore a olive green dress with black flowers embroidered at the bottom with a black cardigan and some black flats.

See we're all matching. It's so cute.

We got to the Vinoy Country Club, where the rehearsal is, pretty early with the very important task of helping everyone find their seats, given to us by none other than the bride herself. Chrissy.

I enjoyed it though. This way Kyle and I are able to speak to everyone without it being a hassle.

And Lexi just followed us around patiently, taking in what she told me is her very first wedding. Which isn't surprising at all.

We caught up with most people in the mist of everything. His Aunt Rosy and uncle Carmen. His other Aunts Barbra and Nora. His cousins Stalia, Autumn, Kairo, Jack, Dylan. His grandmother Elias and grandpa Cooper. And that's only the beginning. Don't even get me started on Ryan, her fiancés family.

Everyone was so happy to see me though, it made me feel so good. Everyone wanted to know how I've been, and what I've been up to.

It is one of the best feelings to have so many people actually genuinely care about me as a person and how I'm doing. Kyle literally has such a big family and although they don't see each other everyday or talk everyday their love and relationships are still so beautiful.
