Birmingham to Celebrate

This weekend we went to Birmingham to see sweet Natalie get hitched! It was a perfect beginning to their marriage. The ceremony was beautiful and oh so special. She was one of the most beautiful brides Ive seen. What a fabulous weekend!
I got to spend the night with the bride on Friday night since my groom was not there yet. The bridesmaids Luncheon and Rehearsal Dinner were all so fabulous on Friday. They were filled with many sweet memories. Saturday was spent getting ready and countin' down the hours till the big I DO was said. Such a sweet time for such a sweet couple. I was honored to be a part of the whole weekend.
Mom and Lee were able to come down for the wedding also so it was great to hang out with them. We went to Hot and Hot after the wedding to get Shrimp and Grits. Well what do you know--they werent on the menu!! I tried and tried to get the waiter to put in a special order since we were all the way from Dallas but no such luck. What a let down. After we went to Samford to stroll down memory lane. Oh so fun. We visited Mr Beeson, the Chi O and Sigma Chi house and just looked at all the new additions to the campus. We loved driving around Samford. We even made it before the gates closed but Im sure we could have used Andrew's SU card he STILL has in his wallet to get in...ha!
And a great ending to the weekend-got to my Thomas Powell. We were able to hang out with Laura, JD, and Thomas for about an hr which was awesome!!!!! He is just P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S!!!! I do believe is going to be long and lean :) He was so sweet. We even got Andrew to hold his first newborn baby after some peer pressure! Thanks Lo for hanging out! I loved loved loved meeting my new favorite little Thomas!
I only have one picture from the wedding unfortunately (and its an iphone pic)...doesn't do justice of how incredibly beautiful Natalie was--stunning!
Our little visit to Samford:
Oh the memories....
No Values Violations for us!
Its like I meant to blend in...
Giving Mr Beeson some lovin'
Until we meet again Samford..it was great seeing you!
