The First Weekend - Post Wedding!

So... this weekend was a huge amount of fun! I started out working with my friends at Lantern Lane Farm (I get credit for my class on that). There is nothing like volunteering for friends who are getting their non-profit organization off the ground, getting class credit and then having them fix you breakfast!

Thanks Ralph and Joni!

Then went back home to await the arrival of my aunt and uncle (spending the night before heading to NC) and my niece and new nephew-in-law (fresh from the honeymoon). I should have done some studying... but there were so many people around and Gerard Butler was hosting Saturday Night Live.

I just HAD to stay awake.

Kristin & David brought over their wedding pictures that were taken by the lovely and talented Carla Lynn of Carla Lynn Photography. Here are a few.

On Sunday I went to brunch/lunch with Heidi and Lou Ann. KatyBell (all one word) came along and we just had a great time hanging out and eating too much food and celebrating Heidi's 33rd birthday.

Again.

Then, I made Katy come and pose for some pictures for me. Why? Because I was going to be taking engagement pictures of some people I had never met before.

Katy was a pro:

Then, I met Kathryn and Chett. Kathryn spells her name like me, but with a K. That makes her even more special! Here are a few of those pictures:

These would never have happened without Wanda Dulaney (the director) and Kaylie Dulaney (the self-proclaimed Fashionista). They rocked!!!

I just took the pictures. But it was a great weekend!

Just a Week Away

We are officially one week from The Wedding! I thought I would start some sort of countdown here. There are many things to do and all those last minute details to finish. We have LOADS of stuff still heaped up in the music room here (yes, I have a room in my house that is "the music room"). Bride's gown, Maid of Honor Gown, flower girl dresses and shoes, hot glue gun, silk flowers, bubbles, communion supplies, lions and tigers and bears, Oh My!

Okay. Not really on the Lions and Tigers and Bears. That was just me being funny.

Did you laugh?

On my agenda for today... decorate the flower girl baskets and study/take a test for my ORCO class. The test is due next weekend. But, let's face it. That would just be CRAZINESS. So, I will study the text and take the test tonight, whilst it is still fresh in my noggin'.

I hope I retain something for the final.

I have added pearls onto the flower girl baskets. I'm trying to decide if it needs ribbon as well. I will confer with the bride and get back with you. The gossamer that we will be using to decorate for the reception arrived yesterday. Brown and green. I am tres excited about that.

More supplies arrive on Monday. Along with the Aunt and Cousin.

The photographer that is doing the engagement/wedding pictures is Carla Lynn. She's fabulous. She took the picture that is at the top of the page. For more information on her work, check out http://www.carlalynnphotography.com/
