"Marry" Christmas

No, I'm not clever enough to come up with the cute little title all by myself. That was the name of the Lifetime movie D and I watched last night. And guess what? It was about a mother/daughter team who were wedding planners. Isn't that cool? I loved it but I love sappy Lifetime Christmas movies . . . and weddings. Speaking of weddings (how was that for a really bad transition), we had a wonderful weekend of weddings! Oh my goodness! I have officially recovered thanks to an all afternoon sleep induced coma yesterday.

This is one of my dearest friends who was married Saturday morning in her beautiful home! I have known this precious woman for years and let me just say, she deserves every ounce of happiness she has found. Love and much happiness to Melissa and Roger!

In Hiawassee, we were in for a full day and night of wedding festivities with this fabulous young couple. The best thing about our job is meeting the coolest people we would have otherwise never had the opportunity to meet. These two are just precious and their wedding was, well, perfection. Funny story about this wedding, though. All day things had gone like clockwork with only a few very minor hiccups which honestly, is unusual. It is not uncommon for something to go a little off track but not this one, not a hitch (no pun intended!) . . . until the exit. The plan was for the couple to exit through a hallway and out into the parking lot where their guests would line the walls waving streamers with jingle bells attached over head as they walked right onto a horse-drawn carriage that would take them off into the moonlight. Perfect plan. Okay, so everyone is in place - guests, photographer, videographer - here we go. As soon as they get to the carriage . . . the. horse. bolts! Runs like the wind. We all stood there stunned not knowing whether to laugh or cry. So we all look at the bride (who you always look to for your emotional que if you know what I mean) and she cracks up! Whew! So, in a few minutes, after the horse with carriage and driver in tow has taken a few laps around the parking lot, the bride and groom successfully make their exit!

Before the run for the roses:

And after.

Thanks to Josh and Laura for allowing us to be a part of your special day!
