Places to Go....Plantations Part 1

Pictured above, the plantation home at Drayton Hall and a photo of my girlfriend and I (Ann) inside the house last August.

Drayton Hall

Kevin and I have visited Drayton a few times. Each time we've toured with a different guide and heard a different history. It is one of our favorites because everything is original, nothing is replicated. The house is open and unfurnished. So plan to be hot. The grounds are beautiful, especially behind the house near the water. It's certainly worth the trip. It is a little less elaborate than the other plantations but we have always felt that Drayton has the most to offer.

I don't know how many of you watch So you think you can dance, but I got an excellent hair idea from the show on Wednesday night! If my hair would actually hold I would love this. We'll give it a try on Monday!

The Bupp-Stevic Wedding 6.13.09

A few weekends ago I had the opportunity to see two of my childhood friends get married to each other. Adam and Kim have been a part of my life for longer than I can remember. We've been close, we've been distant, and we've shared too many memories to count. I am so happy that I got to share this special day with them.

The wedding was in Ohio at the same location my sister got married a few years ago, Williams on the Lake. The venue was beautiful, the wedding was beautiful, Kim was gorgeous! I have to admit, my palms have never been so sweaty during a ceremony before. I guess a got a case of the pre-wedding jitters.

The most interesting element of the wedding was the Shutter Booth. It was a photo booth that could fit up to 10 people. The table numbers were photo frames to hold the photos we took. It was so cool. They created a scrapbook of all the photos and gave a copy to each guest as well. Check it out at Shutterbooth.com, Cleveland, Adam and Kim, Williams on the lake!

Dad Turns 60!

My dad turned the big 6-0 today and I just wanted to give him a big shout out! Happy Birthday to a wonderful man. Kevin and I can't wait to take him on the Charleston adventure we have planned!

It happened again....

I guess if you've learned anything about me through this process, you've learned that I do a lot at a time or a little. I guess what I am trying to say is....HERE COME MORE POSTS. I do apologize sometimes other things just come up and before I know it 3 weeks have gone by. Plus, the wedding is at a stand still. We are waiting on RSVP's to produce the final budget.

But I have great things to write about Charleston and what to do while you're visiting. I am super excited that we are getting married in South Carolina and want everyone to enjoy it as much as I do. The beaches, history, food, and fun. The activities can be as much or as little as you want. And as always email me or call if you have questions or need help planning.

All about us COMPLETE!

We finished the book on the drive to Ohio! We had 11 hours to talk! WOW! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get to know a little more about their partner. I had a blast. Anyone know of a follow up book? Maybe there is a newlywed one.
