Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8
With packing, moving, working, monogramming, wedding planning and preparing for the renovation, I've gotten quite behind on my blog! I'm so glad that I started it when I did, because I was lucky enough to capture our house being moved, our engagement and now, our wedding planning. Of course Charlie rolls his eyes when he needs me to do something and I tell him I'm busy updating my blog, but I think it will be great to look back over all that we've done at these important milestones we've recently met and those soon to come.
Over the summer, we were lucky enough to make a trip to Nashville for Charlie's cousin Courtney's wedding. It was absolutely fabulous! She's a fab blogger, author and creative guru so you can imagine how fantastic her wedding was! Guests were asked not to snap any pics at the wedding so I don't have any to share, but there were lots of other fun things we got to do during our long weekend away.
First, we met up with our sweet friend Rachel! She and her husband, Doug, moved to Nashville after college so I don't get to see her near as much as I'd like. It was great to connect with her while we were in her neck of the woods. We ate at Whiskey Kitchen and the food was good, but the basil berry lemonade that was fan.tast.ic! It was so great to see you, Ray!
For breakfast the next morning, we are at the Pancake Pantry. I wish I could tell you how delicious the food was! We are so spoiled living in Charleston... with many, many great restaurants, I'm hard to impress when traveling. The Pancake Pantry did not disappoint! The line was out the door, but it moved quickly and the service was great (and fast) once we were inside. We'll definitely be going back during our next trip to Music City!
d-lish!
Full belly = happy Charlie!
Of course, Courtney had a huge goodie basket waiting for us at the hotel. One of the boxes inside had homemade puppy chow. It was a much needed snack after touring the city all day!
Rehearsal dinner!

Recognize these from Pinterest? Courtney started yet another fad... Groomsmen baskets with a personalized steak branding iron!
Saturday before the wedding we found out about a food truck rodeo happening in town. We love food trucks so we just had to go and we were very happy that we did! Charlie opted for the loaded burger...
and sweet potato fries...
I went with the pork pot roast. Excellent decision! When you entered the park, each person was given a ticket to vote for their fave food truck. This pot roast got my vote!!
Gorgeous day in the shade at the food truck rodeo!
Wedding time! Congrats Courtney and Chris!!
I had to include this picture of Charlie while we were waiting to board our plane. He has a tendency to hoard save gift cards so when I actually got him to use a two year old gift card to Best Buy to buy these headphones, it was cause for celebration! Love you Cha :)
Be sure to check out Courtney's website, blog and books! She is such a sweetheart and Charlie just loves her to pieces!
