The Knot has been tied!


Yipppeeeee my sis is now a Mrs! This past weekend Jenn & Paul tied the knot in classic, southern charm. The festivities took place near Rocky Mount, NC at an absolutely beautiful farm called Rose Hill. Rehearsal dinner and ceremony took place on site at Rose Hill; and who could have asked for a more amazing setting. Cows, horses, swans, a lake (they do go hand in hand), a rustic barn, and old farmhouse to top it all off.
I'd say the weekend went off without a hitch except for some untimely rain showers. Saturday afternoon at about 3pm it was pouring and Jenn had to make the call to move the ceremony indoors. Of course come 5:30 the sun was shinning again, but what's a girl to do...be a bridezilla and move it back outside?? The ceremony was just as beautiful indoors as out and we were still able to take advantage of the clearing weather and get some great photos outside. I have to say that I was a bit distracted being in the bridal party, so I don't have many pictures of the actual ceremony or reception. I'm sure Jenn & Paul will agree that there were so many people to visit with that there was barely any time to eat, drink, or take pictures. We packed a lot into this weekend so enjoy the show (in chronological order but of course)!

Sadly....I have no pictures of the bride and groom together, or any of my folks together. I'm sure some additional pictures will filter in from family and friends so I'll post them as I get them. Stay tuned :)
