charleston, hon.

Last weekend we took a trip to Charleston with our mothers to do some wedding planning and prep! We were all excited to take a trip south and enjoy some warmer weather. Boy, were we wrong. It was JUST as cold there. "Unseasonably cold" for Charleston. typical. There were 4 things on our agenda-

1.      A site visit! RC had never seen the venue prior to last weekend so I was beyond excited to finally show him in person as well as show his mom! I think they both loved it. I didn’t see any cartwheels but my mom did capture this reaction….

2.      A food tasting with our caterer for the wedding! I didn’t take any pictures of this, I was way too busy stuffing my face. Just know that the food is amazeballs- filled with all of your favorite comfort foods. Macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sliders, ham, turkey, crab cakes, roasted veggies, fried green tomatoes, jalepenos, etc. I’m seriously salivating just thinking about it.

3.      (cup)Cake tasting! Again- no pictures of the actual cupcakes. I’m obsessed with these cupcakes and it was not a pretty site watching me eat these things. I normally am impartial to cupcake shop cupcakes and I usually find them to be wayyy too sweet. HOWEVER. These cupcakes. To. Die. For. I’ve literally been day dreaming about them since we were there. We’ll have about 4 different flavors, some brownies, cookies and strawberry champagne pops as dessert!!!! Hungry yet? If you’re coming to the wedding, check out Sugar Bakeshop when you’re in town. You won’t be sorry but your waist line may be.

4.      Find a rehearsal dinner venue. We saw about 20 places and I think we’re VERY close to choosing one! So many places were booked or too small and I think we all started to get a little discouraged. However, we had some free time on Sunday morning and I think we found something that will work!

 I think everyone finally had a little glimpse into what my life has been like planning this wedding. Tons of phone calls, tons of spreadsheets, tons of thinking, etc. It’s been exhausted but I know it’s going to be worth it. If not, I got these AWESOME glasses out of the deal..
