Love the happiness here!  This picture captures the pure bliss of marriage and the joy of knowing all the hard work and stress of planning the big day was totally worth it.  I know as soon as my hubby & I left our wedding reception, we were jumping for joy too!

Anybody else have a fun photo-op like this after the reception??

Game Day Love Affairs

In the south, we all have a love-affair with football.  Saturdays (and sometimes Thursday nights) are taken seriously, and team loyalty runs deep.  It is totally normal to see girls in cocktail dresses and high heels and guys in bow ties and brightly colored pants filing into the stadiums.  Tailgating is a social affair - I'm talking chandeliers hanging in large tents, unbelievable food spreads, cocktails, team colors, large flat screen tv's propped-up in the back of trucks (just so nobody misses Game Day), cheering and chanting and team-spirit decorations.  Rain or shine, collegiate or professional, southerners will flock to the games.  Don't get me wrong, I understand there are die-hard football fans in other parts of the country, but in the south, football is a religion.

Since it's Saturday (a.k.a. Gameday), I've decided to post some wedding/engagement pictures of football-loving couples.  To view the photographer's full gallery, click on the picture to be taken to his/her site.  Enjoy!

One Of A Kind Seating Chart

I just ADORE this idea for a seating chart.  I have no idea how this creative couple came up with this idea, or how they even got pictures of all their guests, but this is absolutely ingenious!  They have a photograph of each of their guests from sometime in the past, and wrote their name and table number under the photo.  What a clever way to set up a seating chart - and what a great conversation starter!  I found this on the Wedding Chicks website.
