BACK2BACK

Happily Ever After

We live. We learn. And when we are lucky, we love. 

This summer has be a summer of romance. Unfortunately, not for yours truly, but I was fortunate to be apart of 3 couples very special day. As different as they all were.. they were all so amazing.

Molly & Ryan 
Married June 24, 2011 
Sullivan's Island, SC.






Kim & Mike
Married July 23, 2011 
The Mallard Yacht Club in Long Beach Island, NJ


This Carolina Girl went "down the shoyah" for this wedding. The weather was beautiful, but so damn hot. It was hotter in Jersey than it was in South Carolina, but such a wonderful time. Kim was absolutely stunning, especially wearing her purple patent leather Louboutins. The reception was ahhhhmazing! Everything was perfect... The flowers were beautiful. The food was delicious. The band was awesome. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was after the cake was cut, they also brought out trays of pastries from Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken! This wedding was especially important to me because this is the day Kim officially became part of the family, and we couldn't be happier!

Kayla & Wren
Married August 6, 2011
Hutchinson Compound in Jedburg, SC


Kayla's wedding day started off perfectly, I know because I had the honor of doing her make-up for her special day. BUT it didn't stay that way for long. Wardrobe malfunctions, a missing dress (mine), and RAIN were just a few hiccups we had to endure to make this day perfect for the two of them. The rain stopped in time to dry off the chairs and stay away long enough for the "I DOs" but shortly after the first dance, it started it up. This country chic theme was evident all through the day. She wore cowboy boots. There were sunflower seeds and daises everywhere. And the best part was the carved tree "Kayla & Wren 08/06/2011".  Kayla did not let the rain stop her from having the time of her life and neither did I, so we danced the night away... in the rain! 

I could not be happier for all six of them, and wish them a lifetime of happiness and love <3

Catch Up

Wow! Juggling a full-time job, full-time social life, a full class schedule and keeping up with blogging is a lot harder than I expected. So clearly, you can see blogging was the first to go. My first goal was to blog everyday, and that is now just to unreasonable. So I give you my new goal of a weekly blog. Phew! That makes me feel better already.

But let me catch you up on what has been going on since the last time I blogged:

• First, and most importantly, I had a BIRTHDAY! Yes! That is right I am now TWENTY-SEXY!
• Molly & Ryan get married
• The GAMECOCKS became BACK2BACK Baseball National Champions 
• Went to the Jersey Shoyah for Mike & Kim's wedding
• Kayla & Wren get hitched
• A lot of summer memories were made, and a lot are not remembered.. lol
• AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST - I not only passed my summer classes, but made DEANS list! 

Lucky for you, I started blogging about most of these things as they were happening, and for reason unbeknownst to me a) never finished or b) never posted. Weird, I know! Either way, I am going to be posting them now (better late than never, right?!) 

Fall is here, which means another semester at CIC, but it also means it's my last before I become a Certified Event Planner (woo-hoo!) and only 9 more classes until I will have my degree in Hospitality Tourism Management. Fall also means FOOTBALL, Halloween, Taste of Charleston (and other CIC events), bonfires, Fall WEDDINGS and so much more!
