HELLOOO!

I have exciting news - I have join the land of the living, and bought an iPhone!

and I'm obsessed

I play scrabble or Words With Friends Free!

watch netflix

check my email 

Also, I love the camera!
So, here is our weekend in iPhone pics!

We headed to Savannah for a wedding

It was fun to come back and sort of feel like tourists

Savannah is a great city, and sometimes I forgot that living there

It's really beautiful and there are tons of things to do/see

We arrived into town late Friday night, and after surveying our seriously overgrown yard, unpacking, checking mail, we were pooped.

We headed out for a quick dinner, then went to have a cocktail downtown

We ended up at Lulu's Chocolate Bar

Chocolate...Bar....

yes, please

We sat outside and watched a storm roll in

I ordered a spiked coffee, which was delicious, and a perfect pick me up after a 3 hour drive

and we also had the flourless chocolate torte

delicious

We then headed to River Street, which is somewhere we never went while we lived there
Its pretty touristy, but we were tourist this weekend!!!
We strolled up and down the cobblestone sidewalks, listened and watched the street performers, and wished we were driving one of the yachts parked at the dock

It was lovely
an awesome self-portrait

Saturday night we went to a beautiful and fun wedding downtown
It was so fun to catch up with friends that we haven't seen in a while
The wedding favors were these cute little jars of honey from Savannah Bee Company
and pralines (which I ate for breakfast - I'm so healthy)!



If you need some good honey or honey products, check them out
they are a wonderful company and have the best honey I've ever tasted!

In other news, this is my latest read
My Life in France 
by Julia Child
WHAT A GREAT BOOK!

She has such a fun way of telling stories of her early days in Paris
where she discovered her passion for food and the French
It's especially fun to read since we honeymooned in Paris and visited several of the places she talks about!

I highly suggest picking it up!  It's a fun and easy read!
But be warned, it will make you want to go to culinary school and learn how to speak French!

In other, other news...

We are at the beach this weekend and I can't wait to sport my some of my  new clothes
I did some damage in Atlanta earlier this week at Jcrew
T almost died when I came out with this huge bag
The only thing he said was, "I didn't think they made shopping bags that big...(groan)"
(It wasn't that bad though - mostly sale items)



Hope everyone had a great and relaxing weekend!
Much Love
and
Au Revoir!!!

It's still wedding season...

...it's still wedding season at our house...

We just got our wedding album...

and I love it!

Here are some of the pictures inside

The only problem is we have no where to display our album in this house...

plus, it's white so I'm scared it will get dusty and dirty 

What to do?  What to do?

Tell me, do you have your album displayed or is it tucked away in your storage closet?

Today, the lovely UPS man brought me my wedding dress today...

I shipped it all they way up to NYC to be cleaned and preserved by the J. Sheer & Co.

They've been on the Martha Stewart Show 

fancy, fancy

My wedding dress was FILTHY!

I mean, it was a hard night of partying!!!

T asked me what in the world I was going to do with my dress now that we've spent a small fortune to have it cleaned...I said it would probably just sit in the box for the next 30 years...

They send you white gloves to wear when you take it out...

I told you it was fancy :)

 

They did such a good job cleaning the sash

By the end of the night, it was black at the ends

The veil was in pretty good condition because I took it off before I hit the dance floor

The wedding dress was black on the bottom

A lady from the cleaners called me and said, 

"We've tried to repair the bottom of the gown as much as possible, but it was in pretty bad shape"

That is the sign of a good party, I'd say

So, I guess, its now safe to say that wedding season is now over in our house..

I think T is relieved because he said

"Please tell me this is the last wedding thing I have to pay for?!?"

Men...

Goin' to the Chapel...FINALE: Ceremony & Reception!

I was going to share this yesterday to celebrate Valentine's Day, but I got behind

because someone decided to take a little VDay shopping spree at my expense!

My cc's fraud department called me yesterday and asked me if I'd bought a computer that morning online 

"Uhhh, no"

So that was fun.

Anyway, I'm back in business

(I hope that thief got a bouquet full of baby's breath and carnations for VDay)

So here is the FINAL post of my little wedding series...

It's long, sorry!

HERE GOES...

This is T's church -

Isn't it gorgeous

T and both of his sister's have gotten married in the same church

I officially blacked out at this point -

This is why you must get a good photographer because it these moments that you won't remember...

Love this picture of my Dad - he looks so happy

and I was, too!

All, except two (shout out to AP), of my bridesmaids were blond

The were a very hot crew...

Mr. & Mrs.

Our reception was at the country club 

The wedding cake was intact after is long trek from Atlanta

The groom's cake
T (as many of you know) is an AU grad and football fanatic, so naturally his cake has to be AU inspired

Pictures of my parents and my grandparents

Now to the food - 

which I didn't taste

but heard was FABULOUS

Our caterer and florist was the same person

a man named Leon Holloway

who is the definition of fabulous, awesome, calm, cool and collected

If you're getting married in the near future, do yourself a favor and call Leon

Of course, we had to have tomato sandwiches

Getting ready to make our grand entrance!

First dance.

I really thought this was the most awkward part of the wedding

especially considering that I have zero rhythm 

Alright, now it was time to partaaayyyy...

Also, this guy's name is Shyrod

and he is also awesome

He is the lead singer of Papa-Sol

*cue storytime*

T and I met at a New Year's party here in Savannah.  The band that was playing that night was Papa-Sol, but I had nooo idea who they were because I was too busy chatting with an AU grad and drinking free champagne.  Fast forward two years later.  Our friend works for East Coast Entertainment and was helping us pick out a band.  He sent of a list of options, we took a listen, and decided on Papa-Sol.  Our friend and his wife came for a weekend visit and I was talking about how I was so excited about the band we had chosen and how couldn't wait to here them play.  Our friend looked at me funny and said, "what are you talking about, you've already heard them?!  They were the band that played the night yall met - I booked them for the New Year's Party in Savannah."

How weird is that - we blindly picked the band we heard the night we met as our wedding band.

They were soooo good!

Sunglasses were our party favors

I told you it was a fun party!

My brother killing it on the dance floor

He apparently got the rhythm gene

                                                       Sister                                &                          Brother

Best Dancer Award

Brother, again

The party finally ended, but not after an impromptu dance party

It was such a fun reception, if I do say so myself

Anytime, you end a party to Enrique's "Baby I Like It" - you know you've had a good time

On to the honeymoon...

THE END

Hope yall have enjoyed these posts - Its been fun to share such a meaningful and wonderful day!

Hope everyone had a great (theft free) Valentine's Day that was filled with lots of LOVE!
