“The heart, like the mind, has a memory."

 “The heart, like the mind, has a memory. And in it are kept the most precious keepsakes.”
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Oh my, how the year has flown by...as we are now just a few hours away from a new year

 and fresh start. I have always spent the evening with my husband and a few close friends...the same ones for over 35 years!

On New Years Day my kitchen will be featuring traditional Southern Black Eyed Peas and cornbread. But on New Years Eve it is a thoughtful time to reflect on the wonderful families that have entered our gates, stepped on the front porch and as we gathered round by my grandmother's antique dining room table, decided this was the place they wanted to get married.  

After a year of planning, Buddy and I feel like part of the family
as we share in the day of a years worth of weddings. 

We have been honored to work with some of the sweetest brides and their families alongside finest team of  talented professionals
from photography, musicians, catering and cakes.   

Here is an armchair look back on our fabulous heartfelt year...

Buddy and I wish you all a Happy New Year!
Oh my it has been such a wonderful year! New Years Eve inspires me to pause a moment
and look back and reflect on the year that was...
and to look forward to the fresh year of new possibilities that is just around the corner.

 Ready for 2016 !
