Showering the Dailey's...Part 1

Wow! I had no idea getting back into the swing of things this week would be so difficult. I'm still not in the groove yet. Evidently my lovelies at school are testing me to see if the new Mrs. Dailey is going to keep things running like Miss Savage did. Needless to say, I'm very glad it's the weekend.

I'm going to make myself recap all my wedding shower fun before I begin blogging about the wedding, so with two more showers to share, here is part 1.

Throughout the whole engagement we had so many friends that wanted to celebrate us. We were so blessed to have so many people in our lives that love us. The day after my "Clemson Shower" I had another shower back home in Columbia. I only call it my "Clemson Shower" because it was all my college friends...not because it was a Clemson theme...although I wouldn't mind that either. Getting back on topic, this was a Sunday afternoon shower with LOTS of yummy cakes and desserts. I was in heaven with my very large sweet tooth. All the decor was perfectly done and everyone was so sweet to come out and celebrate what was our soon to be wedding.

Just one of the wonderful desserts!

Me and the fabulous hostesses. Such sweet ladies!


My lovely mother :)

Instead of a flower corsage, they did a key. A key to my heart :)

See, I told you it was beautiful. Aren't the swans cute!

LOVE the favors! The monogram just makes it better.

The tree for the cookies...precious.

Thank ladies for the wonderful afternoon! I loved it!

The New Mr. and Mrs. Dailey!

We're Back!

We had an absolutely PERFECT wedding weekend and honeymoon! I couldn't have asked for anything more...all my dreams have come true! I know I have lots to catch up on going way back to recap all the wonderful showers we had, but I will leave you with just a few fun things.

My dad made a wonderful video of Josh and I through the years for our rehearsal dinner. It was truly made with love, as my dad married off his "little girl." I still can't watch it without crying.

And our wonderfully fabulous photographer, Lindsay Alexander, gave us a sneak peek of a few images. I was busting to see these as she put them up while we were gone. And in true LAP fashion, she did not disappoint. We have been so lucky to work with Lindsay from the very beginning as she has captured our engagement, my bridal pictures, and our big day. We love her!!

Hopefully, I'm back to the blogging world. With so many fun things to share, how could I not!

3.10.12

So, I have been a little absent from the ole blog, but with good reason. Lots of fun and exciting things have been going on leading up to our big day on Saturday. Our wedding day is finally here! I have promised myself to pick up where I left off when I return from our fabulous honeymoon. I can't wait to return as Mrs. Dailey!

HELP!

So this is what happens when you can't sleep and start messing with your blog. Yes, I have been up most of the night with a splitting headache and can't for the life of me fall to sleep. I finally got tired of just laying there. I have hit some button and now I can't get anything back! I don't even have my "design" tab anyone. I'm really hoping some blogging/computer experts can help me...please :(

Sidenote: I somehow got back to where I started messing around, thankfully! But does anyone know how to add a banner from Cutest Blog on the Block? I can't find an HTML code....

A Beautiful Up Country Day!

Yet another perfect shower! Three of my bridesmaids got together and threw us a wedding shower in Greenville on a perfect January day (that just so happened to feel like spring day.) It was so nice to see all of my college friends-I think sometimes I get so busy I forget how much I miss all of them. I went up Friday night to spend a little extra time with Amanda and Sara Britt (and forgot to take any pictures). We hung out and ate dinner at an adorable restaurant in downtown Greer, which by the way is a hidden gem...so cute! Saturday was filled with more wedding fun!

The brunch was held at Mary's Cottage. So cute!

Me and my MOH (and her sweet little girl arriving soon!)

The favors...again, how cute!

Me and the hostesses...love these girls!

Totally not planned...but so funny.

The whole group...great group of girls!

It was a absolutely wonderful day!

It's Raining Wedding!

As January progressed, wedding events started gearing up. We had a wedding shower to kick off the wedding festivities, and it was wonderful! The first one in January was hosted by a few of Josh's mom's friends and a mutal friend of my family and Josh's mom. The guests were mostly Josh's mom's friends and it was fun getting to meet everyone. I even had 2 bridesmaids make the trip to Columbia for the afternoon. Yay! It was a perfect Sunday afternoon shower with some yummy desserts.

The pictures are slim, I finding it hard to be the focus of the event and trying to balance capturing the moment as well-maybe I just need a photographer to travel with me. Luckily, Amanda offered to be the photographer for the afternoon.

A big thanks to everyone who came! We appreciate everything!

New Years Eve

Yes friends, you read that title correctly.

In an attempt to get caught up why not start where I kinda left off. There has been so many wonderful things happening, but there just doesn't seem like time to keep up the ole' blog. So, way back to New Year's Eve we go.

Josh and I headed down to the Holden Beach to ring in the year of the wedding. Our friends Mike and Jacquelyn joined us and we had a fabulous weekend. It was especially nice that we didn't have to go back to work until January 3rd.

The weekend was spent hanging out, walking on the beach, watching movie, relaxing with some adult beverages, playing games, and eating lots of good food. Seriously, everytime I turned around I felt like we were eating another fabulous meal...but who am I to complain-I loved it. New Year's Eve we cooked a Low Country Boil. This was everyone's first time attempting it, but with some good directions and timing it was delicious! And a nice presentation if I do say so myself.

Several years ago I would have felt the need to "go out," but now I'm quite content ringing in the New Year in a low key kind of way. Maybe it's just because I'm getting old too.

We had a great time and I hated to return back to reality. However, time doesn't stay still, and life moves on and I knew 2012 is going to be a great year!
