Mr. and Mrs. Rogers

Oh my goodness gracious! Billy and Sarah are officially married :) This wedding weekend has been so much fun and oddly emotional too. I knew I would be super excited and happy for Billy and Sarah, but I'd forgotten how crazy all of this wedding stuff is. Even as a bridesmaid, it is so easy to get blown away by all of the little ins-and-outs of the Big Day! But it was so FUN!!! I loved being a bridesmaid, getting to help organize little things and support Sarah during this wonderful time! She has been a gorgeous and gracious bride, going out of her way to help others and make sure everyone is having a good time. And she is so in love with Billy (and him with her, of course!). It was so awesome to see them take this next and very big step in their relationship. I know God is going to bless them like crazy and that they are going to be an awesome example to future newly weds :)

The Rehearsal went beautifully! And the dinner afterwards was beautiful and delicious!

The Bridesmaids' Luncheon was at the restaurant at the top of the round Holiday Inn downtown. The food was delicious, and the view was absolutely gorgeous!
After lunch, the bride, all of the bridesmaids, and some family went to get their nails done!

Then we raced home to get ready for Sarah's Bachelorette Party :) We did a scavenger hunt type thing, where we got into groups and waited with a cute present (mine was a journal signed with sweet notes from friends) at different locations around Charleston that mean something for her and Billy. She had such a great time, and we entertained ourselves by acting silly and taking pictures while we waited for Sarah to arrive! After the scavenger hunt, we all went to dinner at Fleet Landing (where they went the night Billy proposed), and then we headed to the Embassy Suites so Sarah could open some last-minute presents while we had some good girl talk :)
Saturday morning, we met Sarah at the Embassy Suites (where the reception would be) and all got ready together :) We had a great time hanging out and talking about all of the excitement to come later in the day! We even got to watch as some friends and family started decorating the tables and stuff downstairs :) It was really cool to get to see it all coming together!

And finally, it was time to head to the church so Sarah could get married!!!! She was a beautiful bride, and it was the smoothest wedding and reception I've ever attended! Everything went so well, and at the end of the night, Billy surprised Sarah by having a horse and carriage waiting for them to leave the Reception! :)
