53 days until I am married to this handsome fella. (The cutie on the right would be Leon, our neph-dog). These two stepped in for a last-minute photography-class portrait assignment, and I must say I LOVE this shot....mostly because of the subject matter. 

My groom is a constant source of inspiration. He has been active in the planning process since the day I agreed to marry him. Picking a date. Re-picking a date. Choosing a venue. Traveling to Asheville. Re-choosing a venue. Catering tasting. Cake tasting. Menu. Invitations. Crafts. and Music. We have put lots of love into each decision to create a day that captures both of our styles beautifully. 

I am tremendously excited about the bluegrass string trio that will be playing our ceremony and cocktail hour. Beautiful music and instruments will be the perfect touch to our North Carolina backyard wedding. At the top of this weeks to-do list: selecting tunes. 

Chris has been home on the coast this week, but I got the most delightful call telling me he ordered the dreamy JCrew suit that I love! Not only that, but making our wedding signs and picking out his wedding band-- my groom is on a role! (I should probably take note).
