The Wedding Elves at Work
Below, Kent paints the favor baskets that we will use at the wedding reception.

In the picture below, Kent and I have our own assembly line wrapping flatware for the Low Country Boil that will take place before the wedding.

The next day, our assembly line moved to Granny's house! Snip, snip, snip! Granny works hard to snip the ends off of the blue ribbons that we tied around the wrapped flatware.

Theresa glues the tiny sea shells on the finished product, the wrapped flatware.

Faye makes beautiful bows to go on top of the favor baskets.

Thanks to all who have helped us with the preparations for the wedding and reception. We couldn't have done it without you!
Shopping for Bridesmaid's Dresses
Amy and Kim, both Maid of Honors, had a wonderful time looking for dresses. I think they tried on every matching dress in the store.

Kim's dressing room looked like a set from the movie "27 Dresses".
Amy gives her best impression of Wonder Woman. This is the actual dress that she will be wearing in the wedding, minus the head band.
The picture below is of all of the bridesmaid's in the actual dresses that they chose. Amy is wearing the actual color that the dresses will be.
Below is a picture of Kelli with her wedding party. Don't they look great?

This was a very fun and productive day! Thanks Connie and Margie for being there to share this day with us!
More Wedding Shopping
Finding the Perfect Wedding Dress

Our first stop was David's Bridal at Stonecrest Mall.

Below is a picture of Kelli looking through all of the dresses at David's Bridal. She was searching for the perfect wedding dress to wear on her special day.

We did not actually expect to find her wedding dress on this day. We went to David's Bridal with the intent to look and try on dresses. However, as soon as she tried on this dress, we all knew that it was "the one".

This was a very special moment. Seeing Kelli in her wedding dress for the first time was wonderful. She looked like a beautiful bride.

Oh Shucks

As you can see, Kim got right to work. It's a good thing Grandma Oma and Granddaddy Wilbur taught us how to shuck corn when we were little.

Not long after the work began, Kim took a break. Cassandra decided to get in on the action and picked up Kim's slack.

By the end of the day, all the corn was shucked and placed in the freezer in preparation for the Low Country Boil.
The Wedding Ceremony and Reception Location

I took this picture from the exact spot where the wedding will take place. The wedding will take place on the beach with this view of the lighthouse in the background. Beautiful!

The picture below is the Guard House at Fort Screven. This is where we will be having the Low Country Boil prior to the wedding and the reception afterwards. The Guard House, newely renovated, is where the actual prisoners were held for Fort Screven! It is a beautiful place!

The Happy Couple
