Cabin Sweet Cabin

Destination 1: Blue Ridge, Georgia!

Wedding night we stayed in a beautiful cabin overlooking the Georgia mountains. The Best Man (aka Bobbus' lil brother) was kind enough to taxi us about to our different destinations. The bottom photo is what we got to look at while we had breakfast in our rocking chairs on the porch. We made old fashioned oatmeal (twice... the first one was an epic fail) with honey and banana and sipped our coffee while enjoying the view and taking in the fresh mountain air.

...Later that morning we would be picked up again and toted to Atlanta for a one nights stay at the downtown Hyatt!

Nuptials

Our Wedding Day ended up being everything I had hoped for and more. My beau and I are now happily nestled into our home and having the time of our lives! Being married is like a continuous slumber party, and I love having a partner in crime! Our ceremony was originally planned to take place outside-just next to our engagement spot- with cocktails and viddles to follow before the reception in the gazebo just down the way. The reception was to take place at a wonderful restaurant called Harvest on Main (an absolute MUST to try if you ever venture to the Blue Ridge mountains). Golf ball sized hail decided to rain on our parade and made for a quick last minute change of plans. Everything from the ceremony to the reception was held in the restaurant...and looking back, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way! From the "first look" through the visiting, eating, eating, eating... s'mores making, cake cutting, and dancing I was one happy bride with my sweet husband by my side. The most important of the important people in our lives made the effort to take the 8 hour trek to the south (We can't tell you all how much that means to us). I'm pretty sure they are all glad they did though, and may have each gained a few extra pounds with all of the deliciousness the weekend had in store!

Wedding Recap

Good Morning! Betsy here.  I have a little blog called Heavens to Betsy and have known the author of this little blog for quite some time!

Ky is off enjoying her honeymoon and I'm here to share a little bit of wedding goodness with you.  The wedding was completely stunning and Ky and her new Mr. were deliriously happy.  The wedding and reception were held at a dreamy, rustic restaurant in Blue Ridge, GA, where the bride's family has a cabin. There was some rain on wedding day, so the outdoor ceremony was moved inside and our newlyweds were showered with good luck!

We enjoyed a delicious southern style meal (the pimento cheese was my favorite!!) and finished the night making s'mores on the porch!

On a personal note, the bride and groom are two of my favorite people and we've been friends since high school.  We've all been through a lot together and I'm filled with joy every time I remember they are now Mr. and Mrs. and about to start a wonderful life together.

I'm sure Ky will have more to share when she returns, so until then, enjoy these pictures and best wishes to the newly established J family!

xoxo,
Betsy

Bridal Portraits

I'm baaack! Once the amazing vaca came to a hault (I guess we had to return to the sunshine state sometime), I was immediately thrown into my internship at boutique bakery that is a solid 75 minutes away from our home. It is so fantastic that I was able to find an internship, but between those long days, my regular working days, and adjusting to new life as a married lady :)!!! I have been filled to the brim with busy! There are several posts lined up for you guys on the wedding and all of its festivities, so be on the lookout. I can't wait to post them alllll!

This post is dedicated to my bridal portraits. I am so thrilled with the outcome, but then again I am always thrilled with this fabulous photog's art. Some like to call him Gregory... I call him dad :). Take a gander!

Bachelorette Fiesta

Now, if this fiesta doesnt scream slumber-party-animals, then I don't know what does! That blonde chick standing next to me in that photo up there, yeah thats my sister. She basically rocked my socks with this party. We had a meet up at her abode complete with margs and tiny taco appetizers! She then shuttled the gang in our parents minivan (a.k.a. the loser cruiser but hello,we rocked it) to a fabu Mexi restaurant called Mucho Taco & Tequila. Love. When it was time to move on to the next set of festivities we walked out to get the car (which was parked super legally) but no bueno since it had been raptured! Woah, 9 girls, 1 missing car, and a slough of margaritas patiently waiting for us back at the party pad. We hailed a cab-yet another van-and made our way back which is when we found out that a perturbed resident who had apparently had a bad day called to have our mini-van towed. Sad. The party must go on! Snacking, margarita sipping, photobooth dominating, pretty lingerie unpacking, and crazy dance parties encompassed the rest of the evening. The next morning was gladly ushered in for it had pancakes, eggs, and of course dunkin donuts waiting for us. Perfection to say the least.

Get down with your baaaad self!

Fiestas, Margaritas, Pinatas, OH MY!

My bachelorette party invitation has arrived!! Not only does this mean that we are nearing the glorious day, but also how flipping adorable are these cards?! I can barely stand to wait another day for this fiesta! Marg's are my all time favourite *adult* beverage-if you will, so my fantastic M.O.H. (Ashley Brooke of Ashley Brooke Designs) custom designed the party -and the invite- completely around that fun fact! Now, I'm no craaazy kind of gal, but we all sure do plan on having a super salty and delicious event!!


I'm just lookin' for a good time!

Honeymoon Update!

As I have mentioned before, Bobbus and I are getting married in Georgia May 26th (yayyyy)! We have arranged to stay in this beautiful cabin on our wedding night so we have time to recoup and regroup as a Mr. and his Mrs. before we fly out of Atlanta to California on Friday morning. Isn't this view a stunner?! I can't wait to wake up and eat pancakes while sipping coffee and watching the morning approach over these mountains!

So luxurious,
