the smiths: a tale of 2 weddings- 6/11/11

matt and i received 7 wedding invitations for this month- yes- this MONTH. 1 for last saturday, which we could not attend due to cchs graduation, 4 for yesterday, and we attended 2 of them, 1 for next saturday, which i am in that wedding, and 1 for the last sunday in june, which we will be attending. 4 out 7 isnt too bad and we send a gift to everyone so we still do our part to celebrate with them all!

yesterday we went to 2 completely different yet completely perfect weddings! each one completely and totally represented the couple, especially the brides!

the first one was a 2pm in lancaster sc and was for our friends megan and doug. megan is one of my sai sisters and was katies roommate and doug and i are the same age and went through usc together. there wedding was small and simple and perfect. it was exactly what i expected from megan! she looked so amazing (though she is always so adorable). the reception was cake and ice cream with diet and regular coke in glass bottles and pitchers of lemonade and water- loved it! it was short sweet and fun. here are some photos from wedding number 1.

then we drove 50 minutes to rock hill. we did some coupon shopping in between (saved 52% at target and 65% at bi-lo). then we went to the chapel for caroline and pauls 6pm wedding. caroline is another one of my sai sisters and paul and i were in the horn studio together. their wedding was beautiful! 2 of my best friends from college were bridesmaids and everyone looked stunning. carolines dress was unreal. this wedding was not small nor simple but was still so perfect! the ceremony was short and sweet (as was megan and dougs) and then we went to a reception hall on winthrops campus. the hall itself was amazing and the way they had decorated made it even more so. there was no detail left out here. monogramed seat covers, huge beautiful floral centerpieces, tons of beautiful and delicious food, an open bar (not that we partook in that), a dance band, you get it- the works. it was a really fun reception but he had to bail early to get back to columbia. here are some pictures from wedding number 2.
