Liz and John's Wedding

We were fortunate enough to be able to travel to South Carolina for my friend since elementary school Liz's  wedding. We had a fabulous time, although what's there not to like about wonderful company and amazing southern food? Cole gets along great with Liz's husband John so he had just as much fun as well. As for Marcus, he was the only child there so he was the center of attention and stole everyone's hearts. I was able to catch up with some old friends (Kiley and Kate) I haven't seen since my wedding and we even had some down time. Oh and then of course there was Waffle House. We had breakfast there on Friday and Saturday morning and Cole relished in everything about it.

Thursday evening when we got in consisted of Liz's bachelorette party. She wanted something low key so we went out to Thai food and then to a bar for a little drinking fun. Afterwards it was home for the evening where we met up with the guys who were out on the back patio drinking scotch and smoking cigars (something that they did constantly while we were there).  :o)

On Friday we were able to help with last minute needs for the wedding and started getting things set up. The rehearsal dinner was amazing as it was true southern bbq complete with sweet potato crunch (not the dessert, this was the vegetable people even though it tasted like sweet potato pie without the crust) and different cakes for dessert. We drank and spent time visiting late into the night before we retired back to our hotel room.

Saturday was the big day and it was wonderful. The weather was overcast and rainy but the rain subsided just a few minutes before Liz walked down the aisle. Marcus stole the hearts of many and was a ham the whole night until he crashed in the clubhouse with noise all around him and slept the rest of the night away.

On Sunday we were able to go out to breakfast with the wedding party before most of them went home. Then Cole and I packed up our stuff from the hotel and headed over to Liz and John's to spend the rest of the trip with them. We were able to catch up at their house and then went to downtown Greenville for dinner. It is a fabulous area that reminds me a lot of the Riverwalk in San Antonio, just not directly on the river. Once we got home we spent a few more hours talking the evening away while the guys continued to smoke their cigars.

Sadly we left on Monday afternoon. We had enough time that morning to eat breakfast with Liz and John and say our goodbyes before we headed to the airport.
