This Sunday, June 13th....will be our ONE year anniversary. I still can't believe it, time flies when you're having fun right? This past year has been pretty amazing, I don't think I could have asked for a better first year of marriage. I am so thankful for my husband!!
But, whyyyyyyyyy does the wedding weekend have to fly by? I am kinda over "re-living" it by now, but gosh those first 6 months I just wanted to do it over and over and over, (the wedding, that is...keep yo minds out the gutter!!) I was so so sad when everything was over and done with. I mean, who doesn't love a whole weekend where you are the center of attention? Seriously though, for one weekend out of the year ALL of your family and friends are together in ONE place to celebrate you and your husband's love for each other, pretty incredible isn't it!
So....last Thursday a year ago, I was running around Beaufort dropping off guests "boxes" at the hotels and getting my mani and pedi! Thursday night we relaxed at our house and enjoyed the calm evening, a few friends showed early and we just hung out by the pool!
The bridal luncheon was held on Friday. My two aunts and two cousins were the hosts and it was absolutely gorgeous. The luncheon was held at Wren in downtown Beaufort, such a cool little restaurant that is decorated amazing! The chicken salad at Wren is to die for....so obviously this was my choice!! It was a nice few hours for my bridesmaids, women in the family and myself to relax and hang out. Everything about it was wonderful.
My gorgeous bridesmaids and me.
Presents for my ladies.
The Richardson women, including the fab hostesses.
The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner were Friday night, the dinner was held at the waterfront park in downtown Beaufort....what a view! The park sits right on the big water and has absolutely gorgeous views all around. Our "dinner" wasn't very formal, it was exactly what Mikey and I wanted. It was very relaxed and we served Beaufort stew, of course! (if you aren't from around here, Beaufort stew is shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes all cooked together!) It is absolutely delicious...the perfect meal for our wedding weekend. We wanted to have more of an informal rehearsal dinner so that we could have a larger crowd, we had about 150 people!!

me and my boo *one of the only regrets I have from the whole weekend is not hiring my photographer for the rehearsal dinner night, this is the only picture of Mikey and me from that night, besides a few where we are cutting the cake not looking. As you can tell, this was later in the night right before we were leaving to go out. I have NO pictures of our families, etc. Kinda sad about that....
with friends, right before the viewing of the slide show and toasts!
My wonderful fab five!!
Ah. The memories. Can't we just go back for one weekend and do it all again?
The wedding to come later, sheesh...I'm tired after that!
