Real Wedding Wednesday: Lauren and Matt

This is Matt and on September 8th of this year he headed out to the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, VA to marry his love, Lauren! But first, he had to dig up a bottle of whiskey they had buried a month prior. An old southern tradition that is said to keep the rain away on your wedding day.

While he did that, Lauren and her ladies got ready inside with a different beverage…mimosas! My favorite!

Lauren’s dress was a beauty…I especially love the intricate lace hem.

Once in it, it was time to walk down the aisle. Also, how cute are those flower girls?!

With her father by her side, she went to meet Matt at the alter.

He looks smitten ?…so sweet!

Together, forever and sealed with a kiss!

After the ceremony, the happy couple grabbed a few photos together.

They laughed…

…and admired Matt’s new bling ?.

The reception kicked off next with lots of dancing! Nice twirl Lauren!

And of course, cake! I am loving the greenery on this naked cake!

Although the buried whiskey bottle didn’t keep the rain away from their big day, they made the best of it and got this amazing photo ? what a keepsake it will be…

Congratulations Lauren and Matt!
