My best bud Brit got married this past Saturday in Atlantic Beach, NC. Ron, Grant and I got up very early Friday morning (3:30am) and flew out of Pensacola at 6am. Why oh, why do I continue to book 6am flights? Guess I'll never learn... We arrived in New Bern, NC at 10:30am and were picked up by my Mother and her brother Bobby. We then drove to Beaufort, NC for Brit's bridesmaids luncheon, which was in a beautiful home on the waterfront and arrived just in time for the 11:30am brunch. It was so wonderful being reunited with all of my best buds and catching up over the most yummy foods! Here I am with the Bride-to-Be!
I was famished after all of the traveling and loaded up on all of this good stuff!
Shelley, Carmel, Ginger and Brooke enjoying the beautiful day and mimosas!

After the rehearsal Ginger, Carmel and I stopped by the hotel to pick up Ron before the dinner and grabbed Grant for a photo in front of the beautiful sunset!
The girls at the rehearsal dinner. The power in the whole town actually went out right after the dinner started! The power was out for two hours during the party and this picture was taken in the dark! Brit was a trooper and didn't let the nights events ruin her evening. We all carried on by way of candlelight while the cooks scrambled to prepare our dinner without electricity. In the end the power came back on and we enjoyed a lovely but unforgetable evening!
What gorgeous weather awaited us! You would of thought it was June, the beach was perfect and we all enjoyed getting a suntan before the wedding! We haven't taken a picture like this on the beach since college!
Brittany did not enjoy all of the attention on her wedding day. She is not one to enjoy the spotlight. We showered her with compliments and she told all of us to "stop it!" This was her face after putting on her dress and being emabarassed at the display of affection!
Cute sign pointing guest in the right direction

Brittany and I. So glad I could be there for her and Drew on their special day!

This is the "fun" pose. I never quite know what to do for these, you end up feeling cheesey either way but they turned out great!
And after the event filled weekend my camera died.Worst nightmare. I was able to get enough "juice" to snap this single shot at the reception with my friend Melissa and Grant. I have lots of friends who will hopefully share their photos of the night with me but overall the wedding weekend was fabulous! Ron and I throughly enjoyed our mini vacation to coastal North Carolina and enjoyed seeing so many friends and our families! Of course the weekend flew by and now we're looking forward to our next trip home!
Thanks for a wonderful weekend Brit, Love you bunches!
