We enjoyed sharing our nephew's wedding on Saturday at the American Village in Montevallo, AL. It's a beautiful recreation of old Williamsburg, and the chapel was perfect for a wedding -- beautiful windows, woodwork and balconies draped with live garlands and her colors of navy and sage green. Amanda was so lovely -- and the wedding was so special and fun and original. They make a beautiful couple, and we know they'll "live happily ever after" as their slide show of their lives said! The reception was beautiful as well -- great food -- the wedding cake was so pretty wrapped in green ribbon topped with a pearl "H" that Amanda made from family pearls. So many great ideas -- the centerpieces on the tables were tall glass cylinders with calla lilies swirled inside.
Our niece Jessi was a bridesmaid, and Casey and John (you can barely tell she's 6 months pregnant in that dress) and Anna and Zach all came. It was great to see Aunt Jeffie and her son Tommy -- and her grandson Rob and Trisha and their new baby Graham. He's adorable and looks just like Rob!
If you're surprised by the opening photos -- those are from the Rehearsal Dinner held at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in downtown Birmingham. I just had to take photos of Ralph "Shug" Jordan, Auburn's famous coach my first year at Auburn (1972's 17-16 game, punt Bama punt) and the large "Bo over the top"! Again, the food was wonderful and it was so fun to be able to share in this time with Gary and Carolyn and the families! I thank them for including my mom in the activities as well. She and MawMaw really enjoyed themselves! And I apologize to Carolyn for not catching her for a photo! I'll have to wait for the official photos to get one of the complete family!
