I had been waiting for last weekend to come for such a long time. When I think about, I've probably been waiting three and half years for it. Ever since I met Brittany and Tanner I knew that they were going to end up like this. Married!
We just got back from an awesome weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina for their gorgeous and personal wedding. I was so honored to be asked to be a bridesmaid and since the entire wedding party was coming in from all over, it was the best blend of people (and accents!) anyone could have asked for.
We flew in on Thursday so I could hang with the girls and then spent Friday morning at Pullen Park. The oldest "amusement park" in the country, it had a carousel, train, pedal boats and a playground. Pretty much Kate's favorite place ever. This is her first carousel ride, on the back of a giraffe.
For her second act, she chose the ever graceful ostrich.
I think Kate is pouting in the this shot because the turtle we saw went back underwater. Turtles just don't listen.
Wedding day. The ladies walking over to the meadow for the ceremony.
Me and my girl all fancy.
The ceremony site was in a meadow, followed by a reception in the most beautiful old barn.
I would say the dance floor was Kate's favorite spot, but running a close second was this DIY photo booth outside. "Let's go be silly and take our picture." Ok kiddo, whatever you want.
Brittany the beautiful bride, little miss scary face and me. Gorgeous shots from the professional photographers can be found here:
Brittany and Tanner are married!
The day after the wedding, we explored downtown Raleigh, including the North Carolina State Capitol.
And revisited Pullen Park one more time. Kate was pretty much the very best traveler ever during the entire trip, so we owed her one more carousel ride. Her animal of choice? A reindeer of-course.
The Goodsons and the Hoybooks. We miss these two tremendously and wish them the happiest years together!
