Wedding Weekends

You go through different stages and phases of life...at one point it seemed like we got to go to lots of weddings...there was a friend getting married or having a shower almost every weekend...but, we haven't really been to one lately until the past 2 weekends. We got to go to 2 really pretty weddings.

CONGRATS Cassie & Justin!
I work with Cassie and they just got married on July 16th in Gainesville. The wedding was at First Baptist Gainesville and the reception was conveniently right across the street at the Gainesville Civic Center. Cassie was such a good bride...the Tuesday before the wedding she got a phone call while we were at work- from the lady doing the alterations on her wedding dress---she asked "do you have anything else you can wear to the wedding?!!!!! And then told Cassie her dress had a hole in it...Cassie rushed to the shop at lunch but it turned out to be really small and no big deal--so all worked out ok--Cassie handled it with stride! (Thank Goodness since she didn't happen to buy a "back up" wedding dress! Ha!)

One of my favorite things they did at the wedding was the guest sign in...our friend Elizabeth sketched this picture of a tree--then, the guests picked from a variety of colorful ink pads to make their thumb print (in the place of a leaf) on the tree branches and sign their name. It looked really neat!

Pretty Cake for Mr. & Mrs. Hamilton!

What a friend! Lana was in town doing some shopping and was so kind to volunteer to hang out with Milla for the evening while Brandon and I went to the wedding together!!! So Sweet!

Congrats Lindsey & Ryan!
Brandon's cousin got married on July 23rd. Their wedding was at Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. She had a really pretty dress...I loved how it just had one over the shoulder strap.

They had a really cool reception spot! It was called "Summerour Studio" located off 17th street-close to Atlantic Station and Ikea. www.novareevents.com/summerour/index . It was awesome and would highly recommend it for a big event facility.
