A BEAUTIFUL Day in the Making!!

It feels like Addie and Scottie’s wedding was forever ago now, not just over eight weeks ago!

I think I will enjoy this trip down memory lane more than anyone else who sees this post!!

Goodness, what a wonderful season we have been in!

Scottie is ONE IN A MILLION and we love him to pieces!

The Thursday before the wedding, the guys took Scottie out to eat and to ride go carts, so all of the girls came here to enjoy the evening.

We had the best time!!

There were already projects being completed and piles being made that day for our BIG day Friday when it was time to set up the church.


Friday morning started with a big pancake breakfast and a very excited bride and groom!!!!

We got everything we needed for the church into five vehicles, I believe.

We had SO much help and I could never say thank you enough to everyone!


When we arrived at the church, everyone just worked all together to make everything happen!!

It was AMAZING!!

There was one moment, late in the afternoon, when we realized we had not even started to frost the hundreds of cupcakes…

Blake, Tate, Eliza and I ran home to get some things needed, like an electric mixer, and by the time we returned they already had all of the vanilla cupcakes done!!

They had whipped all of that frosting by hand!

Let me just say I was so glad I had taken aprons to church, ha, ha!

Before long, things were really coming together!


I walked around taking some quick photos with my phone right before the rehearsal started that night.

I just LOVE every detail – all planned by Addie and Scottie – and it just “felt” like them in so many ways.

I was so overwhelmed with emotions – this was it!!!

The day we had been praying for for SO long!!

Look how beautifully it all came together!!


Pretty soon it was time for everyone to change and clean up for the rehearsal dinner!

We had brought all of our clothes and get ready stuff to the church for that.

Everyone looked so nice!!!

And Addie’s bestie and bridesmaid arrived!!

And my bestie and her family arrived too – her daughter was going to play the piano for the wedding!

I was SO happy to have her there, but I do not even have a photo!!


Here is the most important thing I packed for the wedding, ha, ha!

And yes, I had them ready for the rehearsal too.


After we practiced the wedding ceremony a couple of times, we went down the hall to another kitchen area to have the rehearsal dinner.

Scottie’s family was so gracious to host this dinner!

It was lovely and very enjoyed!

There was an opportunity to speak on Scottie and Addie’s behalf, and many took that opportunity and shared.

That was my favorite part!!

Scottie and Addie also gave gifts to everyone in their bridal party and those serving them on their big day.

Briar was the flower girl, and was very excited to receive a gift!!


Just like that, it was Saturday!!

I will share a few snapshots that people shared with me…but my next post will be FULL of the most beautiful photos from our amazing photographer (and friend)!!

We received Scottie and Addie’s wedding photo gallery just last week, and they are SO AMAZING!!


Stay tuned for the rest of the story!!

It was the most WONDERFUL day!!

To God be the Glory!!!
