The Rehearsal DinnerBe advised- This post is
super image heavy. You can click on any of the photos to make them bigger.
All photos were taken by our wonderful friend Robert
Wigington and edited by me. Robert has a blog, too. You should
check it out.

So. We got married under a huge old cedar tree completely covered in Spanish moss. Overlooking the river. A more perfect and beautiful place there is not. I promise. We looked all over Georgia.
This is our tree. With our friends and family gathering under it.
The cross of the gazebo was just visible over the minister's head through the trees. You'll get to see a picture of that... I promise.
My Dad, the constant photographer. I really love this picture of him. I think it may be my very favorite.
The Hubs. I think this was before I came out. I accidentally left my engagement ring in my room (oops!) and was a
teensy bit late for the rehearsal. Horrible, I know.
Loooook at my tights. I'm pretty obsessed with them. I really love this picture. Those are Callie's hot legs on the left, BTW.
The
whoooole wedding party. And pretty much our favorite people in the world.
Cheesin'.
My lovely, wonderful, beautiful bridesmaids.
Lovely Lane Chapel. Probably the prettiest little white chapel in the whole universe. I haven't actually seen them all, but I don't know how any could compare. This was our in-case-of-inclement-weather plan.
Not a bad plan, eh?
The inside is just as beautiful as the outside. Gorgeous wood everywhere.
Photoshopped nearly to death, but I really like it anyway. I think I may have a little addiction to
Photoshop.
Speaking of addictions, the moustaches are probably in half of our pictures.
The toilet paper roll bouquet was from the
bachelorette party the night before.
Wow. People are probably going to start thinking I really have a huge black moustache.
The head table at dinner in the Ellie Harvey Room. Chris' parents worked SO hard on the Rehearsal dinner and it was so lovely. My Aunt Kathie arranged the flowers... she's like the Yoda of flower
arrangin'. Seriously.
One of my favorite games of the weekend was to put random people together and see how the interacted. College friends + high school friends + family = a very strange feeling.
More friends!
Some of Chris' family and some of my second family, The Berry's (Abbie's family).
I really like this picture of my dad and me. I also like that I have a hair tie around my wrist. Nice.
I'm not gonna lie here. This picture is probably of me telling them how awesome it is that my dress had pockets. Kristen doesn't seem impressed.
My aunt Linda (who I call Nina). Her hugs are the best.
And the obligatory feet picture. But seriously. This one is really, really good. (And look at my gold shoes!)
A
huuuuuuuge thank you to
Robert for agreeing to take pictures kinda last minute. He was a champ and these are pictures that we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.
We still have yet to receive our professional pictures from the actual "Big Day", but we're working on it. Soon, soon, soon!! In the meantime, I may put together a small post on some other wedding-related details like flowers, stationery, etc. And there will certainly be a few pictures of getting ready the day of. Mimosas may have been involved.
Also, if you were at the Rehearsal Dinner and didn't see a picture that you'd like to, (such as one of yourself/your family) let me know and I'll get it to you somehow. Robert took lots and these are just a small sampling.
Aaaannndd... Good night.
We had a very merry Christmas here in Jasper. We stayed in pajamas all day long, watched Christmas movies, ate lots of good food, played with our new presents (and the kitty), and were lazy pretty much the whole time. 
This makes me want to stitch sooo bad. Gorgeous, gorgeous work.
And in case you can't read my messy handwriting:
(Wow! My hair looks really red in this picture. I think it was taken a day or two after I dyed it red, though. But it still looks sooo red!)
The inside is just as beautiful as the outside. Gorgeous wood everywhere. 
One of the articles featured an artist named Joetta Maue. Her work is so incredibly inspiring.
"Lemon" for short. "Lemon Drop" for fun. "Lizzy Lemon Pants" because I'm insane.
She was adopted previously for a year and then when it was time to take her to her yearly checkup at the vet, they decided they didn't want her anymore. So, we gladly decided to bring this pretty girl home. She doesn't have a name yet. We're about 80% sure about what it will be, but we're going to give it another day. She's so sweet and so loving. She's been a little freaked out, though... lots of change today. But now she's ours and we will love her forever. I mean, look at her.... how could you not love those big pretty eyes?
