Our New Blog

Well, everyone else is doing it - why not us? We want to blog-it-up, too!

Matt and I have started the most amazing life together - down in Louisiana swamp country. That's right folks - we're livin' the most humid, muggy boggin' place in the US! We live in a little oasis amidst the bog, called Audubon Trace. And, hey, we bought perty flowerin' plants for the front porch! So we are lookin' good!

Let's see . . . it all started about 6 weeks ago, in a little village called Charlotte, NC, in a little bung-a-low called the fabulous Van Landingham Estate . . . on July 21st, 2007 . . .













































































When we tied the big knot in that most fabulous of estates, we did it up right. We rented out the entire place for Friday and Saturday night. The following were our very distinguished guests at the estate: Sally and Shelton Raynor (parents of the groom), Thomas and Denise Akulis (parents of the bride), Rebecca and David Fort (sister and brother-in-law of the groom), Jackie and Connor and Noah Bates (sister and brother-in-law and nephew of the bride), Cooper and Andrea Harrell (groomsman and his wife), Chris and Ann Lam (groomsman and his wife), Mick and Elaine and John Green Gay (groomsman and his wife and new son), Christina Kilbourne and James Little (bridesmaid and her guest), and Sharon and Wayne Neff (grandparents of the bride). What a list! And of course, I can't leave out my other bridesmaid . . . Miss Cheyanne Nash from Stallings, NC.
The wedding was perfect - beautiful dresses, exquisite flowers, southern belle fans, bumpin' music, and delicious food. Really, I was surprised everything went so smoothly - without one hitch! The tent outside the estate was magical, with strands of white twinkle lights, two goregous chandliers with candles, fans, and eight round tables with floor-length white brocade table clothes. Could you ask for anything more?
