The Party (aka Our Reception)

Our reception was held at Windermere Golf Club in Cumming, GA. We were so excited to find the venue and very pleased with the service leading up to the wedding as well as the night of the reception.

Our First Dance

We served a low country boil for dinner that included shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage. We also enjoyed chicken, cole slaw, and fried okra...a very Southern reception.

Time to enjoy the party.

Hank starts the train...

And more people join in...

And still more...

The electric slide, a classic!

Lots of people were shagging and swing dancing.

And of course, we mingled with friends and family.

We had such a great time, and we hope you did, too!

College Football Season has Arrived

As of Thursday night, college football has officially arrived. Some years, the season is slow developing, and good match ups are hard to find until later in the year. That's not the case this year. There are match-ups with Top-25 teams facing off virtually every week with 2 games in the first week. I respect Boise St for scheduling at Va Tech, but I still hope they lose. Kelly and I didn't attend any games the first week, but we'll be cheering on the dogs next week in Columbia.

100 Days and Counting

We've been married for 100 days. I can't believe it...the time is just flying by. We've been busy with work, and we are getting excited about college football (and fantasy football, although Cary is the only one excited about that). We are planning to go to a few games this season, and I can't wait.
In the meantime, while we are eagerly awaiting kickoff, here are some pictures from the ceremony.

So cute!

(I love picking out friends and family in the pews in this picture...it was all a blur when I walked down the aisle. I hardly remember anyone else even being in the church!)

The Kiss

And we're married!

Thank you to our bridal party for being a part of our wedding!

Wedding Season

Kelly and I went to two weddings this Summer (outside of our own). Both weddings were for our classmates from PT school and both were tons of fun. It was a good time to get together with classmates and share stories as being newly licensed therapists.

First, was Jenny and Wade's wedding, held in Alpharetta, GA.

Wade thought up a unique way to get the garter...

The Mission Impossible theme song is playing...

And Wade gets the garter.

Another classmate of ours also got married this summer. Leigh and Jason married on August 7 at Villa Christina in Dunwoody.


Of all the weddings we have been to, this was the first cupcake-cake we had seen.

(I'm on the far left in the green shirt helping lift during the horah.)

Congratulations to the two happily married couples!
We wish you many, many years together!

Cake Envy

Our baker, Natalie, is the owner of Cake Envy, and she specializes in "over-the-top" wedding and special event cakes. You may remember from a previous post, that she met with us last minute in late March to design our wedding cake when Publix disappointed us.


I thought the cake was gorgeous and turned out really well. It towered over us as we cut it. So much so that when Cary and I accidentally hit one of the plastic separators with the cake knife, we were afraid it was going to topple over on us.


It tasted delicious, what little bit Cary and I tasted. But our guests told us it was delicious, too...all 4 flavors. Each layer was a different flavor: chocolate with Bailey's filling, vanilla with raspberry filling, lemon with lemon filling, and carrot cake (our top layer, which we kept, was the lemon cake as well).


So if you are in the Cumming/Atlanta area, give Cake Envy a try. Natalie does beautiful work that is delicious, too! And just for fun, here is the original sketch:

(We decided to add the last layer at the end of the meeting, so it isn't completely drawn in.)
