I sure hope my hair gets more volume in Texas! Yep, we are headed to the great state of Texas tomorrow to celebrate my cousin, Tiffany's wedding to her fiance Parker. This will be my second trip to Texas and Kevin's first. Kevin and I were actually discussing on the way home from the lake this past weekend, that this is actually the first time we will travel by plane together! Odd, after dating for over 5 years- nonetheless, it should be interesting as they say traveling always is a good test of a relationship!
Thursday night is going to be fun once we get in- we are flying to San Antonio, renting a car, and driving into Austin. Then Friday morning, my mom and aunt are hosting the bridesmaids luncheon. We will have the rehearsal Friday night and dinner afterwards. Then it's up and early as my sister and I are going to get our hair done together I have been trying to narrow down my options...I think I am going to go with something like this:
Then it's all about the bride and making sure she is ready:) We are so excited! I will be sure to post pics on twitter and on the blog after this weekend! Wishing Tiffany and Parker a lifetime of happiness!
XOXO-
My apologies, I know- its been too long! I feel like I accidently took a summer hiatus. And, the bad news is I am about to be out of pocket for another two weeks! So, I am sneaking in this post at work really quick before leaving to go to a co-workers Birthday lunch that I had planned today.
So I think I left off around my cousin, Tiffany's, bridal luncheon and bachelorette weekend at the end of June! It was so much fun! The cake that I had made was gorgeous and served as the center piece at The Swan House for the luncheon and for her bachelorette pre-party at my house.
Kevin and I hopped over to our other cousin's wedding shower (Maggie and Greg who are getting married in October) from 3-6pm that Saturday. Then we made it back quickly to prepare for Tiffany's evening portion of events...the Bachelorette party. It kicked off at my house and then we went for fondue, followed by some dance clubs and bars. It was really fun- and I hope Tiffany enjoyed every minute! It was so much fun planning the events with my sister, the MOH, and Tiffany's other bridesmaid, Rhonda!
The next weekend was 4th of July- which should have been renamed- the big RAIN of July. We were up at the Lake in Toxaway and it seemed to rain all week long! The boat parade which usually has 10+ boats in it, had a measely 4 or 5. But we got to sit on the dock and watch the fireworks and it was magnificent as usual!
Kevin and I went back up to the lake for July 7-10th. It was a fun get away before the back to back weddings we have coming up!
A while back I asked my cousin's daughter, Madeleine if she would be a flower girl in our wedding. She accepted (she is only 2) so really her mother, Ashley accepted. Ashley was a flower girl in my parents wedding so this is keeping the tradition alive! So now we have 3 flower girls for our wedding and we couldn't be more excited about including them in our wedding!
This week we got the SAVE THE DATES in the mail which I had custom designed! I am so so thrilled at how they turned out! Can't wait for y'all to get them! I hope you love them as much as I do!
We also decided on our band for the wedding...keeping it a surprise because they are THAT GOOD! Kevin and I are so excited about their energy! It's going to be quite a PAR-TAY!
This weekend we are stealing in one more lake weekend (hooray we made it three weeks this summer to the lake!), then it's off to Austin, TX next Thursday for Tiffany and Parker's wedding weekend extravaganza!
Then the first weekend in August, we are headed to Davidson for my bridesmaid and close high school pal, Kittery's wedding! We will be picking up my other bridesmaid's Amrita and Whitney and heading to stay with my sister for one night in Charlotte, then to Davidson for the big shindig! Kittery was so cute and already sent us girls our schedule of events for the festivities! We are so happy for Kittery and Artie!
So, that's what Kevin and I have been up to in a nutshell! Of course we have been going to a few Braves games and trying out new restaurants, but that is to be expected!
Hope everyone's summer has been great so far!
XOXO,
