Recap of an awesome weekend!

I spent all day sleeping and catching up on some rest. My shower was awesome and I had so much fun with my closest friends and families. My sister's mother in law threw the shower for me and she did a great job decorating in her southern style. I took some pictures but I have a long day tomorrow so I will get to uploading them in the next day or two. We got so many amazing gifts, I sat on the phone and went threw all of them with Jeff telling him about everything. We are excited to be able to start using everything. But hope everyone has a good week, so excited for thanksgiving. I will be sure to post soon with pictures.

such a cute picture!

First Shower Today!!

Its my first bridal shower today! I am so excited to be with friends and family although some could not make it because they are out of town like Jeff's grandmas and aunts and some of my aunts but still have my best friends and our moms with us so it will be lots of fun. I will tell my mom to take lots of pictures so I can post them later!. hope everyone has a great weekend!

LiaRs!

Whoever said 20 or 30% of your guest list you send invitations too will decline was LYING!!! People I thought would never come and were a for sure NO are coming! I have had 1 No and it was my cousin who I thought without a doubt would be there. So I am stressed out and there is no way we are going to have enough room for the reception! Oh Lord!

I'm off to my dress fitting with my mom! Enjoy the rest of your day!

Let Down

Well after searching and searching for a week to get my copy of Southern Weddings magazine, my mom finally found it and brought it to me today. I was beyond excited but to tell you the absolute truth I was slightly let down. I thought the first issue was way better. I was not really into this issue much at all. Doesn't mean I dont still love Southern Weddings but I just expected more!

Someone from wake who takes pictures of all the games tagged Jeff on FB of this picture of his parents and him on the field for senior night. I love it!



I have my second dress fitting tomorrow and hopefully my veil is all made! I am beyond excited. I will let you know how it goes!

Real Wedding Tuesday

I love clean and simple and this wedding is a prime example of how beautiful white is!

Who knew chairs would be such a hassle!

My wedding planner (who is fabulous) went to have lunch with Stacey the coordinator at the University Club. My wedding planner is going to bat for me dealing with the hideous club chairs and where to store them. I want to have a true cocktail area where they can have drinks and some apps and have the photo booth all in one room. If Christina and Stacey figured somewhere else to store the chairs today some things will change. If I get my true cocktail area i really want to have a little lounge feel to it. I have been searching furniture and found some cute sofas and chairs that I like, but do not know if they are too big for the space. So hopefully i will find out the result of their meeting soon enough.
Heres a picture of some of the furniture I like thus far.


I have been searching till no end to find a cute place to hold my bridesmaid luncheon. I found a cute setting but then the food is gross or not enough. So I give up on having it all. I think I rather have good food and drinks than worrying about the setting of it. I really wanted it to go with my theme of a kentucky derby lunch but oh well I am not sure its all going to flow together because Jacksonville just does not have much to offer and to be honest I am tired of searching for somewhere.

Twilight

My photographer and some other vendors came together and recreated a wedding based off the mood and feeling of the movie Twilight. All I have to say is my photographer is quite amazing look at some of the pictures she took.

We had such a great weekend. Some tears were shed as it was an end to a chapter for us but we are excited for the future. We were surrounded by lots of family and friends which nothing is better in my book.
Heres a picture of me and our two closest friends allie and brandon tailgating before the game




I have such a super busy week and I am so excited for it. I am working majority of the week and then Thursday I have my second dress fitting and Saturday is my first bridal shower. I am so excited for all the upcoming events its coming so much faster than I thought.

I love this awesome pictures check them out.

BitterSweet Ending

After 4 1/2 years of traveling all my weekends back and forth to Jeff's games( as much as I hated it and complained through the whole thing) I am so sad its coming to an end. Its Jeff's last home game this weekend and his senior night. Its bitter sweet but I know I will be crying when the game is done with. It has been such a big part of our lives and I know means the world to him! He has been through so much and really has had an awesome college football career. He's got to experience so many different things such as the Orange Bowl, ACC Champs, and a couple other bowls. In Winston-Salem today on the front page of the sports section a man wrote a really nice article about Jeff.

Of all the games we have lost this season I really one care about is this one. We are playing FSU and have beat them three years in a row. I would just love it if we could rub it in my families FSU loving face forever! =) We might have a chance though because FSu isn't all that great this year either so hopefully the result is in our favor.

As for the wedding things are coming along and continuing to get RSVPs and straightened out the situation with people never receiving their invitations. Dumb black envelopes looked good but I think caused the problem.

Well hope everyone has a great weekend. I am going to try to enjoy mine as much as possible. It will be fun because my whole family and Jeff's are coming. Some of our friends and Jeff's aunt and cousins too so there will be a good group of us. I will try to remember to take pictures!
