We left on Friday when Gill got off work. I was still on Spring Break, so no work for me! We got there about 8:30 and just visited with his mom and dad until bedtime. We got up the next morning and ran some errands. We took Gill out to The Victorian and walked around. We all decided this would be the best place for the wedding. So we booked it this week!
I am so glad we have a date and place in stone, so we can move on to other planning. We stopped by St. Franciscille's BRAND NEW hotel to check on blocking on some rooms. It had officially opened like three days before we were there. It seemed very nice for a Best Western (Is that ugly to say?). Much nicer than the other hotel option in St. Francisville. Mrs. Debbie ended up knowing the lady in charge of booking such things. Small towns are so nice.
We also stopped by The Carriage House at The Myrtles to talk to some friends of the Bryant's about catering. They run The Carriage House and we may do the rehearsal dinner there. I think that would be great.
After all that planning that Gill and Mr. Fred got roped into, we stopped by the nursery to get Mr. Fred some new tomato plants. They have a big garden with all kinds of yummy things growing. Makes me want a garden. A small one. We went and saw the new biddies and talked to Pawpaw. Then we went in for a nap.
We had a nap and then got ready for the wedding that night at Greenwood. It was so much fun and we danced the entire reception. After the wedding, I had my first trip to Ricky's... the bar in St. Francisville. Quite the experience.
The lady who did the cake at this wedding is who Mrs. Debbie said would be the best choice for us, so we all made sure we tried a piece of cake. It was delicious! It was very most and the icing was soft. I am not a fondant fan. It was beautiful!
We had a great weekend and got a lot accomplished... I hope everything else goes this smoothly!
