Thank you Darius Rucker

I love country music. Not only that but I was utterly, completely obsessed with Hootie and the Blowfish when I was in High School. I went through this brief idiotic period of time when I went to all the USC games and they would perform in the half time shows. The drummer used to play soccer there and I met him one time, can't really remember where...but thought I was the coolest person ever.  I can't tell you how many Hootie concerts I went to. Probably 20. Every time they were anywhere around North or South Carolina, I went. Sometimes they played with Edwin McCain and that was just a bonus. So, when Adam and I were talking about choosing songs for the wedding and reception, I definitely wanted Darius in there somewhere. We put him on the wedding webpage using his song "Alright". When we got to the reception the DJ came up to me and asked me about the last song because I had just emailed him several. I said, let's do "History in the Making" and he said,

Now I know how forever feels...

Well...we did it! We got married :) Gotta say that November 21 was the most wonderful day of my life. The sun was shining, the birds were singing (at least I'm sure they were), it was a mild 65 degrees and as promised, we both said I do! A few of the photos are HERE so you can check them out. Rebecca, our amazing friend and photographer took them. Everything went exactly as planned and crazy enough, no big mishaps. We had amazing music from Shelly and Mike and Lem from Carmel Baptist. We took outdoor photos afterwards with family and most of them stayed...of course a few always wander off. I loved the decor...thanks to Colleen and all her hard work. The food was great, the cake was beautiful, everyone looked amazing...and the DJ was fantastic. Overall...I couldn't be happier with the way it all turned out. Being with Adam that day was, as Ruby put it, like a fairytale. Since then, we went to Mexico for our honeymoon and enjoyed Thanksgiving day riding ATVs. See facebook for
