Okay, I know I’ve been so bad about posting lately. I’ve been working as a nanny and teaching classes and picked up an online class and simultaneously staying sane and having fun with Joel, so blogging took a seat on the backburner. But, don’t worry! I’ve been keeping track of other blogs in my spare time and I’m still bebopping around!
While it’s fresh in my mind, I wanted to write about our trip to Georgia for a wedding. I love weddings. Kylie is my big-big-big-big from my college sorority. Both my big and my big-big-big (that’s Molly!) were in the bridal party and it was SO amazing to get to see them and other members of our sorority family.
Joel and I drove down on Friday– 9.5 hours from Ohio to Georgia. We got into Atlanta late, picked up my little-little at the airport, and made it to Lake Lanier’s lodge. It was dark so we couldn’t see much, but when I woke up on Saturday, I could see that the place was GORGEOUS. Ky’s wedding wasn’t until 5:30pm, which gave us time to hike through the woods and sample some of the fun drinks at the bar.
Yeah, it was like my childhood called out to me, ICEE-drinks!
The wedding was so beautiful. I videotaped the vows and some of the ceremony. One of the absolute best “presents” I got from my wedding was a few short videos that one of our friends took. I got to see our first dance and my dad and I dancing– I honestly cried when they showed up in my email inbox. The memory of my wedding is a total blur with all of the adrenaline and love, but having those videos was just so sweet. I wish we’d hired a videographer for our wedding, but it was so expensive, so those blurry quick videos are PERFECT. So, that was my goal for the wedding– now Ky and Matt can see themselves!
Joel and I clean up nice sometimes…
Between the waterfront ceremony and perfect little details (sunflowers and tree stumps), the wedding was SO perfect for the couple. Instead of a unity candle or sand ceremony, the two of them watered a tree together that they’re going to plant in front of their house. ADORABLE. We got to ride a trolley and there was a sparkler exit, it was just a beautiful, magical night.
Congrats, Kylie and Matt!! Can’t wait to hear about your honeymoon!
