This week over at Kelly's Korner, we're showing our reception and honeymoon!
Our church was doing renovations to the fellowship hall and kitchen, but we started in plenty of time to get it finished before the wedding. The problem was that our town had a really insane building inspector (she has since been let go from her job) who gave us tons of red tape just to get a building permit.
Anyway, we weren't able to get the fellowship hall finished in time for our reception. As you can see in the picture below there are white plastic table cloths covering the framing and ceiling. My brother, Jacob's brother and I spent almost 1 whole day putting up the table cloths with push pins!
I had to wear a mask because the dust was making me sick
Judah (Jacob's bro) and Luke (my bro) were such an amazing help!!!
We had a pretty simple reception: wedding cake, several kinds of cheesecakes (instead of groom's cake), fruit, coffee and coffee punch.
Our cake turned out beautifully. I loved the flowers around it and the strawberry filling!
I didn't do a very good job throwing my bouquet. I threw it up instead of back! Ha.
Leaving the church through bunches of bubbles.
The sweetest old man drove us away in his awesome mustang!
He made everyone laugh by cranking up the song "Pretty Woman" super loud on the radio!
We went to Charleston, South Carolina on our honeymoon. We really enjoyed it!
A yummy restaurant where we ate lunch one day.
We took a carriage ride and saw so many beautiful old houses!
Love those big swings by the water.
One day we toured this plantation. I think it was my favorite thing that we did! It was really hot outside, but we got so many great pictures of flowers and wildlife. It was so peaceful.
We learned to love the self-timer on our camera!
There were tons of huge old trees
I loved this bridge!
We ate at an old-timey restaurant one day for lunch
This is at Fort Sumter. Very awesome!
On our last night there we drove to a beach to watch the sunset.
After we left Charleston, we drove to New Jersey for a friend's wedding. Jacob had already committed to play in her wedding before we even got engaged, so we just planned our wedding and honeymoon around that. We got to drive through Washington DC and tour some in New York City, both places I'd never been before.
It was fun, but we were both sooo ready to be home!
I miss Charleston! When we lived in Augusta, we visited probably 2-3x a year. I think we'd consider moving to Charleston at some point later in life - it's just so unique and a great location. We never did tour the plantations, though, we'll have to do that, they look beautiful.

ReplyDeleteAww, sis! I laughed so hard at that picture of you wearing the mask! I think we were INSANE! :) But your reception turned out beautiful! Thank the Lord, He decided to make the sun come out! Someday we need to go to Charleston with our hubbys and babies! :) How fun would that be!?!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful! Your wedding looks so fun! I have never been to Charleston but have always wanted to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog. I look forward to you joining in next Thursday. Congrats on your pregnancy. When is your baby due in Dec? Our youngest, Ryann Elizabeth was due Dec. 25th last year. She arrived three weeks early though on Dec. 4. Apparently she did not want a Christmas b-day.

We also honeymooned in Charleston. We had so much fun. Our favorite place to eat is Red's Fish in Mt. Pleasant. If you haven't tried it before make sure you add it to your list next time you visit. It is delicious!
