“Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning is now and til the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again
And there is Love
There is Love”
{Via Peter, Paul & Mary}
Our girl is now a wife. I blinked and MacKenzie grew up.
Just like that.
We experienced a lot of her nerves in the days ahead, but she was surprisingly calm the day of.
It was a lovely day filled with beautiful moments, joyous celebrations with those we hold dear to our hearts, sentimental memories, and happy tears.
Something old; a hat pin tucked into the brides bouquet that belonged to MacKenzie’s great-great-great Grandmother!
We truly love Michael, cherish his adoration for MacKenzie, and look forward to including him in our crazy little family.
While we do not have the formal pictures of the big day, I do have these wonderful candid shots taken by my sister, brother-in-law, 10 year old niece, and myself!
{I’m sparing you the ones that reveal just how nutty we are!}
Simple alter decor
Enjoy these little glimpses of our celebration.
I had to sneak a few pictures during the formal shots, especially when my children were involved.
I Love this big sister/little sister moment
Sweet corsages for our young greeters
I can’t wait to share more with you, including how we pulled it together out-of-state and without a coordinator!
Our reception table was a Southern version of an Antipasto Platter…
MacKenzie asked me to make the cake… So I did.

I also have a little list of resources just in case you are planning your own DIY wedding on a budget.
A fun bubble send-off for the new bride & groom!
Off to the mountains before returning to Greenville to make their home.
Until I pull it altogether and as life returns to normal from the exhorbant amount of celebrating we have enjoyed the last several weeks, I hope that you enjoy the little teaser!
