I guess when you really think about it, celebrities, musicians, they're just like us, right?  They too have family members who have celebrations to share, and they attend just like you and I, as a guest.  This past weekend, the one and only Debbie Gibson was a guest at a wedding rehearsal dinner at Ole Savannah Southern Table and Bar, celebrating the upcoming marriage of her niece at the popular Kingston eatery.

Ole Savannah shared a photo via social media, stating that they had the pleasure of hosting a private event in their 'Sperry cloth tent, in attendance was international superstar, triple platinum recording artist and actress Debbie Gibson.'

In speaking with Ole Savannah owner, David Amato, he shared that Gibson was a sweetheart, and after being at the rehearsal dinner on Friday night, even returned on Sunday for brunch. He shared that the restaurant was not aware that the celebrity guest would be in attendance on Friday, but did know she'd be coming for Sunday brunch.  Amato noted that she was recognized and took the time to take photos with fans, even taking the selfies herself.

On Facebook, Ole Savannah's post received more than 1,000 likes, with commenters chiming in about having met her over the years, one saying he worked with Gibson's sister at a Poughkeepsie nightclub years ago.  Debbie seemed to enjoy her time in the Hudson Valley this weekend, posting plenty of videos and photos on her instagram of the wedding celebrations.
