Gin & Jeff are married!!!!

What a wonderful weekend! That Ginna Girl got MARRIED!!!!!! My little sister was a beautiful bride and everything was just so sweet! Have fun in Mexico!

Wedding in the Queen City

Wow, I am so far behind. I have so many pictures and things to write about so hopefully I can get to that soon. Yesterday we felt quite lucky enough to celebrate with our friends Craig and Janet! They got married at Uptown Church and then had the reception at the Ballantyne Country Club. It was such a fun time with friends! Their cake was beautiful and the lady who made it is doing ours in just 5 weeks!

Me & Jess at cocktail hour. It was really windy and cold but thankfully Andrew, being the sweet Southern gentleman that he is, let me borrow his jacket.

There they are! The Lowders!We had a yummy dinner followed by dancing. This one of Andrew and our friend Ashley cracks me up!

Laura, me, Jessica & Ashley

Me, Andrew, Craig & Janet!

Love this of Janet.

Next wedding is Ginna & Jeff's!!!! I can't wait!!!!

Wedding update

Ahhh! I am dying to show you our wedding invitations. I've decided not to post anything wedding related (invites, favor idea, the dress (duh), reception ideas) until after the wedding just to leave an element of surprise for our dear guests. I have finally crossed off 'invitations' on our to-do list. {I think} they are beautiful and so very "us". I can't wait for family and friends to get them today (tomorrow, the next day, or in two weeks... Lizziepie!)

Here's a link to our lovely graphic designer who did our invites.

46 days! (but only because Andrew told me this morning... he's the one who keeps track of sweet things like that!)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Love,

Carrie & Andrew

Pi Day

It's not the prettiest pie I've made, but these days I'm lucky if I have enough time to bake anything.

Hope you had an awesome pi day (3.14). I made a chocolate pie for the kids and then an apple pie for Andrew & his brother who was in town. This is still one of my favorite pi day stories.

Good morning

You know you're a bride when you wake up, on your own, at 4:30am on a Saturday morning to do wedding planning. My goal is to have everything planned and ready by the end of March. The month of April will be for setting up the apartment and relaxing. We'll see how this goes.

I should be getting the invitations next week. I can't wait to see them! I've been working with a graphic designer and will have them printed here in Charlotte. Yippee!

Andrew's roommate is getting married this weekend so we went to the rehearsal dinner last night. He's just so handsome in those bow ties! ;)

I also adore this picture of Margot. My latest nickname for her is Mar Mar Chickadee. They grow up so fast!

Hope you have a great weekend, and are getting more rest than I am!

P.S. Big game tonight. GO DUKE!!!
