The Spink Pavilion is the perfect location for the rehearsal dinner. I simply could not imagine having it at any other location. The Missouri Botanical Garden will also be celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2009, so that makes this location also special.

Can you imagine how beautiful it will be when the garden is in bloom this summer.

If only Chihuly was still there. I would so love to to have those "onions" floating in the lily ponds.

We will not have a tent at the RD, but it will be a cocktail style reception.
