Will & Lodod get hitched


Our dear buddies, Will and Laurel tied the knot on
November 10th in classic Will & Laurel style. The festivities began a bit early for me and I flew from Richmond to Charleston on Wed night to work in a visit with Meg, Peej and Molly Piper. I got to spend a full day with Megan Ann and Molly and soon realized what all the hype was about...Molly is quite possibly the most precious thing I've ever seen. I also soon realized how much energy it takes to raise a little one. Kudos to Meg and Peej, I'm way impressed!
On Thursday the masses began to arrive in Edisto and the celebrating soon began. Jim, Patti, Anna and Phil arrived Thursday night and we all got settled at the 3 Palmettos. John arrived late Friday morning from his red eye flight. We got a short walk on the beach in before John was ready for a nap. While John rested up, I went over to the wedding house to help in the massive undertaking of making 250 cupcakes for the reception. Friday night we enjoyed the Rehersal dinner and catching up with all the friends and buddies we hadn't seen in years (eek, yes years!). After dinner the party migrated back to the beach at Whaley's bar. We continued catching up with friends and enjoyed the cheap beer, southern rock cover band, and of course taking in the local rednecks...haven't seen those in awhile. Saturday we cheered on the Wolfpack to a big victory over UNC and then made our way over to the creek for the wedding. The ceremony was held at the Middleton plantation right on the creek. The setting was beautiful and Laurel looked amazing. It was quite a tear jerker...I must of teared up at least 5 times during the night. The reception was a blast featuring music from the Avett's and the buddies. And where's there's music there is dancing. Enjoy the pictures and Best Wishes to Laurel & Will....we love you guys!
