Love, Sweet Love

2009 has been a great year. It's been the year of engagements and weddings. Seeing two people join their life together in the presence of family, friends and most importantly, the Lord, is such a beautiful thing. Here's a quick run down of all the weddings and engagements of 2009!

Wedding #1: OURS!!! Lynsey and Brian - October 3- Winston Salem, NC

Wedding #2: Colleen and Keith - November 7 - Greensboro, NC

Colleen and I have been best friends for 15 years! It was a true honor to stand by her side and witness her marry her soul mate.

Wedding #3: Zach and Taylor - December 5- Winston Salem, NC

Zach is my big brother. Brian and I are both honored to be a part of his big day! Zach and I have always been close and it will be a truly joyous day.

Wedding #4: Brian and Jennifer - December 5 - Asheboro, NC

I have been friends with Brian since high school. We worked together as lifeguards during the summer of 2001. We hate we will miss his wedding as we will be at my brothers but we know it will be absolutely beautiful!

Wedding #5: JT and Adrienne - December 18 - Charlotte, NC

JT and I were buddies at Appalachian State. JT is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet. He would do anything for his friends. I wish him all the best in his marriage and I can't wait to see pictures from their wedding.

Engagements of 2009

1. Bobby and Libby

Bobby and I have known each other since elementary school!!! Through all the times and all the distance, we have remained friends. I couldn't be more happy for him as Libby is such an awesome girl.

2. Tiffany and Mike

Tiffany's is Colleens sister-in-law and through Colleen, we became friends. She is hilarious!!! I finally got to meet Mike at the Belward wedding and I truly witnessed the love between Tiffany and Mike. They have set a date of October 2010.

3. Becky and Mike

Becky and I go way back. From soccer teammates when we were young to college buddies. we have shared a lot of good times. Mike is one lucky guy as Becky is a total sweetheart! 8-28-2010 is the big day! Oh and Mike totally surprised Becky and proposed while they were on vacation in Europe. How awesome, huh?!

4. Erica and Kevin

Erica and I met through Colleen. We have had a blast getting to know each other over the last few years. From late nights at West End to early morning and Bojangles, we always have fun together. I can't wait to see what the future holds for them. And I have no doubt pearls will be included in some form or fashion. ;-)

5. Cathleen and Eric

Cathleen will always be Cathleena #2 to me. We go back to good ole days of soccer during high school. She was my "little sister". When her family moved away, I missed her so much. She is now back in NC and I can't wait to visit her at the beach and catch up on lost time. Eric is one lucky man!

We wish you all the best in your married life. Our hope is that you are as happy married as we are. May the Lord continue to bless you and watch over you!
