Kinzi's Destination Wedding

Well...she's married!!  Kinzi and Kris tied the knot two weeks ago on the beautiful island on Antigua...absolute paradise!  I was fortunate enough to be able to go and stand next to my BFF on her wedding day.  It was an emotional couple of days, (think I cried more than the bride!) but it was a trip that I will never forget!

Varner and I met up in Miami and roomed together in Antigua...we loved being greeted with a glass of champs when we arrived at the hotel!

The lobby of the hotel was gorgeous!

We had just a couple of hours to get changed and then we were off to the rehearsal...we found the bride-to-be and she was ready to kick off the festivities!

Me, Varner, Kinzi, Kinzi's mom and Stacy

I sure do love these two!

 

The flame dancer at the rehearsal dinner was quite entertaining!

Friday morning it was time for the bridesmaid's brunch!

We loved our yummy breakfast in the beautiful gazebo by the pool!

Just a couple of hours before her wedding we were relaxing in the pool!

Kinzi had thought of every detail...we loved the snacks her private butler brought us to munch on while we were getting ready!

Kinzi had these charms made to tie on her bouquet...Kris' mom on the left and Kinzi's dad on the right.  They were there with her in spirit!

Her flip flops were perfect for the beach!

Loved using our koozies during our vacay!

The beautiful bride!  She was stunning and I seriously don't think she has ever looked prettier.

Kinzi's mom, sister and the bride!

She looked as if she had stepped right out of a bridal magazine!

Family pictures after the wedding!

LOVED getting to spend time with TT and Jonathan while we were there!

Varner and Stacy

The whole family

My favorite picture of the trip...Kinzi and her mom.

Bridal party!

I had to steal the bride away for a quick pic!

The reception looked like it was out of a movie...right on the beach and absolutely gorgeous!

 

Saturday, Varner and I spent the day relaxing at the beach...

and at the pool.  It was beautiful!

Kinzi and KT, you're married...woo-hoo!  I am so happy for the two of you.  I truly don't know when I've seen two people happier.  Love y'all!

End of the Year Fun

As most of you know, Sister and Blake went on a ten day European vacay two weeks ago.  They entrusted the safety of their girls with Dee Dee, GrandBobby and me.  On the schedule was DB's dance recital, end of the year program at M.D.O., and water day at school.  It was a whirlwind, but we had a BLAST with our girls!

She loved the flowers that magically appeared all the way from Europe from her parents!  ;)

Sister and Blake gave her a ballerina H.K...it was a hit!

For those of you who know me, you know how special dance always was to me.  This was the third recital I've been to for Katherine and I hope there are many more in the future!

GrandBobby couldn't miss the performance either!

Katherine's end of the year program at school was wonderful!  I got us seats on the front row and beamed with pride through the whole performance...and I only shed a few tears!  ha

She was by far the loudest one in the group!

Emma, Katherine and Sara Lane!  (her BFF's)

Can't believe that this time next year, she will be graduating from Liberty Pals and will be heading to Kindergarten!!

Water Day at Liberty Pals...Katherine loves Miss Chessa!

Libby's teachers have been so sweet to our love muffin all year!

Dee Dee, all I can say is that you're simply the BEST.  The girls couldn't have been in better hands!

Kinzi's Bachelorette Party!

Last weekend, we celebrated the bride-to-be, my BFF Kinzi at Ross Bridge here in B'ham.  The weather was not ideal, but we didn't let that slow down our celebrations!  Friday night we stayed around the hotel and had a low-key night.  Saturday, we spent the day relaxing around the hot tub and gearing up for the night of fun ahead.  Dinner at 26 was wonderful and we had a BLAST dancing the night away at Nana Funks!  

I went with a pink and green chevron theme for the weekend!

These bags were SO fun to create and put together...a huge thanks to TT for making our custom tanks! They were soooo cute and perfect to wear for our hot tub time!

What did we do before Etsy?  Loved her veil and sash!

Thank you to the Albertville Home Bakery for making the lingerie cookies...they were ADORABLE and DELICIOUS!  If you live in the north Alabama area and need any kind of baked good stop by!  They're the BEST!!!

The Bride-to-Be!

Kinzi, I had a blast planning your big weekend and celebrating with you and your friends.  Can't believe you're getting married in three weeks...Antigua, here we come!  Love you!
