Tiffany and Parker's Wedding, Austin, TX

We had so much fun at Tiffany and Parker's wedding in Austin! We loved every minute...just wish we had more time to explore and play!  Kevin got more time to explore the city than I did, but we had so much fun and helped two wonderful people to the alter!


We hit the ground running on Thursday night at a group dinner of some family and bridal party.  Then we went to Tiffany and Parker's neighborhood to meet some more of their friends.

Friday was the big day for my mom and my Aunt Lauretta as they were giving the Bridesmaids luncheon at a beautiful mansion.  The floral centerpiece was quite a show stopper- they did a fabulous job and Tiffany really enjoyed it.  

The men came to scope things out while we were setting up...but then it was time to get outta there and explore UT's campus.

The men- in search of authentic Texan BBQ

The lovely Hostesses

Place cards that served as party favors! (and smelled really good too!)

The Bride!

It seemed like the bridesmaids luncheon flew by, and it was time to help Tiffany get packed up and checked in at the hotel! Then it was a quick wardrobe change and off to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner!

Daddy and Mommy!

Sweet Cousins Ryan and Megan and soon to be baby boy Fogg!

Dinner with lil' Steve and Aunt Linda

I was doing so well on photos up until this point! My duties as bridesmaid got serious the next day!  So these next photos are stolen from family members:)

Jenna and I had our hair done on Saturday morning and the rest of the day flew by! Tiffany looked absolutely gorgeous and we were so happy to be by her side!

Happily Ever After!

Now, onto the next wedding! Kevin and I are traveling to Charlotte tomorrow for Kittery Neale's wedding- she is also a bridesmaid in my wedding.  We are very excited to be picking up Amrita Ford and Whitney Smith tomorrow at the airport and start the weekend of festivities! We will also be sneaking in some time visiting with my sister! This weekend ends the world wind weekend travel schedule we have had since April.  We are so shocked that we will actually be in town for the next month or so.  So we are going to enjoy every last minute of Kittery's wedding- as attending our friends and families wedding has made it all the more real for Kevin and me!

It's been a while...

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,
