My brother, Thomas and now sister, Jessie got married on Thanksgiving
weekend in Charleston. It has been so fun watching their relationship blossom
over the last 5 years. The wedding was planned by my child-hood friend, Hannah
Alexander and to say she is amazingly talented is an understatement. The
wedding was stunning and perfect and it was so fun to be a part of it.
We arrived on Wednesday and stayed at the
Ansonborough Inn. This was the first
time we have ever stayed in a hotel with all four of us. My grandparents gave
put us up in a suite so that it would be easier for us. Thank you so very much
for that. :)
We hired a nanny from a sitting service for 3 nights and it went perfect. We
went out to eat Wednesday night with the family! Then Thanksgiving night we had
the rehearsal dinner at the
Peninsula
Grill for a thanksgiving feast. The toasts and slide shows were fantastic!
It was a fun evening celebrating a wonderful couple. We received our gifts from
Jessie that night. She purchased Annie (Maid of honor) and I (matron of honor)
Tori Burch shoes!!!
On Friday, the bridesmaids had to be at
Lowndes Grove by 10am for hair,
makeup and to get ready. The site was perfect and the day went off without a
hitch! We had photos before the wedding which makes it so much easier. The ceremony
was touching and sweet. After the wedding the celebration began with
appetizers, cocktails and s’mores by the water! Then, we had a delicious dinner
and out of this world band and dancing!!! It goes down as one of the best
weddings!
