Let The Wedding Plans Begin

 

   Let the wedding plans begin...Yes, you read that right. We are planning a new house and planning a wedding.

 

My daughter Britt is getting married.

 

 

 Britt and Nick will be getting married in the fall and our family could not be happier for them.

 

I am so looking forward to all the things in the coming months.

Its amazing how full the weekends will be with dress shopping, ordering invitations, helping her decide what shoes to wear.  

I am not going to lie, I had a few stressful moments wondering, "Oh how will I ever get all this done!"

and then I realized, I only have one daughter.

I can help make this the happiest time of her life.

This is a time when a mother & daughter can create lasting memories.  I want her to cherish each and everything that her and I do together for this occasion.

 

 

I think just about every Southern mother dreams of giving her little girl a tea party or a special  brunch at some point in her life.

 

 

 What a beautiful location for a tea or brunch...

Nottoway Plantation, located in White Castle, LA

Nottoway took extra care to fulfill the vision

 I had for her special brunch. 

 

We were joined by an exceptional group of ladies...

Her bridal party and closest friends and family

 

Shrimp & Grits,  my new favorite way to enjoy shrimp.

The food was fantastic...we enjoyed a four course brunch.

 

 

 What a relaxing way to walk off brunch taking pictures in the gardens and taking a tour of the home.

 

As I start the adventure of building a new home and helping my daughter plan a new life,

 I read this little saying...

 

It's not the load that breaks you down,

 It's the way you carry it.
