My BEST FRIENDS Wedding




Peyton & Nicole Sherwood
April 30, 2011


My Greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years your love for each other will so deepen and grow, that years from now you will look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least.







I could barely sleep the night before the wedding, maybe it was all the caffiene I had drank throughout the day, or maybe I was on a sugar high from all the gumballs I had to help consume, or maybe I was just so excited to see Nicole and Peyton get married. I am pretty sure all three played a part in me falling asleep, but ultimately I think it was the excitement of the events of the following day. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve. Once I was able to rest my mind and thoughts from running, I slept like a baby and awoke to a GORGEOUS Charleston day.

The day started off with all of being treated like princesses, getting our hair and make-up done. Jonny at G.A.T.E. salon did our make-up for the wedding and I was more than impressed. He did such an amazing job, especially on my eyes! I can not wait to mimick his work, the colors he used were definitely not ones I would have chosen, but obviously that's why he's the make-up artist, and not me! After make-up was on, and hair was done we headed out to Mepkin Abbey. Anyone who has never been out there, really needs to make the trip out there. It is such a wonderfulplace, so peaceful and naturally beautiful. We couldn't have asked for better weather, maybe a little breeze to cool down the hot South Carolina sun, but a great day for a wedding. The ceremony was beautiful. Peyton looked so handsome. Nicole looked stunnig. You could tell by looking at them how happy the other made them, and it was such an honour to stand next to Nicole on her special day.

After the ceremony. And the pictures. We were finally off to the RedBank Club for the reception. The wedding party were announced, and were ready to get this party started! Nicole & Peyton shared their first dance as husband and wife - Brad Paisely "She's Everything". We ate. We drank. We danced. We drank so more. And we danced all night, until it was time to send Nicole & Peyton off to their honeymoon Jamiaca! As for me, I ended the night at our favorite watering hole with my favorite single ladies (and by single, I mean not married) where we continued to celebrate the two of them. And celebrate we did... between the blackouts, make-outs, missing shoes and waking up still in our bridesmaid dresses, I know we would have made Nicole proud! :)
