It's Wedding Wednesday! We had the most lovely outdoor wedding ceremony & reception. I will let the pictures do most of the talking, but we were SO thankful that the Lord provided us with the most perfect weather we could ever have asked for. Because trust me, we did ask. Thanks to Aunt Cheryl & Uncle Scott for graciously letting us use their back pasture for our wedding, and for all the hours of planning, building, decorating, deal finding and everything else. This would not have happened without their help as well as the treasured help of all of our friends & family that so willingly pitched in. We could not have felt more loved! Location: Uncle Scott & Aunt Cheryl's Pasture, Greer, SC Date: May 12, 2014, 7 p.m. And that was our lovely ceremony! I hope you didn't get too overwhelmed by the amount of pictures and that you stop by next week for the next series!

The best bunch of people to have around on your wedding day is your bridal party. I mean, that's why you asked them, right? Naturally, we had the best of the bunch. Each one of these special people are so much more than sisters, brothers and friends and we were honored that they agreed to celebrate this special day with us. The Girls:The Guys:This day would not have been the same without these amazing people. I would love to go back and do it all again! Missed other Wedding posts? Check them out here:
Part I: First Look Part III: Ceremony Part IV: Reception All photos courtesy of Cleland Studios My attempt at making burlap stockings was aided by my wonderful cousin Dennae, and we had a blast! Naturally, we had Christmas music and all the Christmas lights around the apartment on to help motivate us. Making these stockings was rather easy and here are the steps we took: 1. Using either a stocking you already have to guide or your great artistic skill, trace/cut out the 2 sides of the stocking. Dennae volunteered to cut out our stockings freehand, and did a pretty impressive job. Scissors and paper with no directed guidance can be dangerous in my hand. 2. With either a sewing machine or by hand, sew the two sides together. I don't have a sewing machine, and the only needles & thread I had were from an emergency sewing kit (I'm cheap, I know!). While there were several needles and bountiful colors to choose from, the threads were all rather short, so we had to use multiple colors for each stocking. But once right side out, you can't even tell! 3. Flip the stocking right side out. 4. Iron to smooth out, if necessary (my burlap was super wrinkled). 5. Try on the stocking to ensure it's the right size. 6. Add embellishments as meets your fancy. Apparently none have met my fancy yet. I need to find some. And that's it! Pretty Easy! My friend Danielle over at Mostly Sewing did a way better job of making burlap stockings (with awesome embellishments!!) last year with a sewing machine, so go check out her tutorial here.
Well, we got our tree! The cutest little 4 ft tree you ever did see. As we were putting the tree in the back of Loren's RAV4, some friendly man called to us, "Hey, the tree is supposed to get tied to the top of the car, isn't it? Tradition!" True, but the tree would have been lost up there and we didn't have rope. We did consider taking the tree into Starbucks with us for fun, but chickened out in the end. We want to continue patronizing that Starbucks. We cranked up some Christmas music and decorated it simply with white lights, a burlap garland, candy canes and a paper star that Loren made. We did put a few other decorations out, but maybe I will save those for another post on another day. I love Christmas!
