Dave & Buster's. Sounds like a place your average girl next door would frequent for food, drinks and good cheer.

And that's exactly what Kendra Wilkinson got by holding her dream rehearsal dinner at the family-friendly restaurant-arcade in Glendale, Calif.

The theme of which was, "Keepin' It Real," according to Kendra executive producer Kevin Burns.

"She wants the wedding to be gorgeous and glamorous, a fairytale-princess wedding," he said. But she and her NFL-player fiancé Hank Baskett wanted the rehearsal to be about "who they are and where they come from."

It isn't just D&B's Million Dollar Midway that tells you what's important to Kendra, however.

"She was atually sitting at a Dave & Buster's when Hef called her when he invited her to come live at the mansion," Burns said.

Aw. Life-changing moment, indeed.

But don't worry, the new No. 1 man in Kendra's life got to have his fantasy cake and eat it, too—literally.

"He is a Transformers nut—so Hank got a Transformers cake," Burns said.

Sounds like there just might be more than meets the eye to this increasingly cute couple, who are tying the knot Saturday night at the Playboy Mansion.
