Shane and Crystal

I woke up pretty early with a case of the “Wedding Day Jitters”. I had been doing so good up until this point, but my tummy was just a fluttering! I tried to eat a little breakfast…(we’ll just say that didn’t stay down where it was supposed to) and then headed out […]

November 2nd and 3rd were very busy days! On the 2nd, Shane and I both got started pretty early. He had to help my dad carve a whole bunch of pumpkins as we were using them with flowers for table centerpieces. I had to meet Brandy, Candy, and my mom at the […]

Mrs. Sylvia Flanagan (a very close family friend) hosted my Bridesmaids’ Luncheon this past Saturday at a lovely little tea room in Woodstock called “Tea Leaves and Thyme”.  It was so much fun!  All of my bridesmaids and flower girls were there, along with a few family members.  I passed out a few gifts to […]

Yesterday, I was given a shower by four ladies at church (Karen Carp, Cindy Smith, Ginger Tumlin, and Carole Scroggins). It was a sweet shower and we received some really wonderful gifts! It was a brunch (10:00 am) and the food was delicious! The cake was so cute…it looked like a toaster […]

This past Friday evening we had a little “bachelorette’s night out”…we had so much fun! Natalie, Linda, Jennifer, Brandy, Candy, and I all went to Brio Tuscan Grille in Buckhead. I had to wear dress up beaded necklaces, dress up chandelier earrings, and a dress up tiara with a veil attached. I […]

This past Saturday, we had a shower that involved both sides of our family.  It was held at my Aunt Jennifer’s lovely home and it was so much fun!  The shower was given by my Aunt Jennifer, my cousin Kristi, and my Aunt Diane.  They did a wonderful job with the food and the games!  […]

Yesterday evening my mom, four bridesmaids (Natalie, Brandy, Candy, and Jennifer) and I had an “invitation assembly line” going on!  It took all six of us about 3 1/2 hours straight to get it done, but they are ready and will be mailed this week!  Shane–you’re stuck now, mister!  Hehe…just kidding!

I had my very first bridal shower this past Saturday! My matron of honor Natalie and her mom Vickie hosted a Southern Living at Home shower for me at the Church Street Tea Garden. What a sweet little place!  I’d never been there but would really recommend it, especially for showers!  It was a brunch […]

Completing the address list has been quite the job.  I had no idea what an undertaking this was going to be.  I feel like a secretary for myself!  Ha!  That and filling up my calendar with showers and other important dates has pretty much been my life lately.   My first shower is next Saturday (July […]

Mom and I went to “The Velvet Box” yesterday and ordered the wedding invitations (and miscellaneous other items).  That took about 2 1/2 hours to get everthing chosen, worded correctly, written out, and ordered.  I love the invitations and I can’t wait to see how they turn out!  We also went to “Write on Main” […]
