Colby and Jaime are now Mr. and Mrs.!

Their wedding weekend was a blast! These past 4 days began with dinner with the Smiths on Thursday night, incuded a late-night dance party with Brince and Becca back at our house on Saturday night (Or was it Sunday morning?), and ended with David and I joining Colby and Jaime at the St. Regis for the night before they left for Mexico today. It began on Thursday night when David and I had the treat of staying the night with her family at the cabin they rented for the weekend. It was in Dahlonega, about 45 minutes from our house. The cabin was built in Kentucky in the 1800's and moved to its present site in 1987. You can even see the numbers on the wooden beams that they used to put it back together correctly. The cabin was nestled in the trees and has a nice big back porch from which you can see the Chestatee river. It was so charming to hear the water running over the rocks! This first photo is of Colby, Jaime, and her two sisters, Ansley and Sydney at the cabin - they're so sweet!
Colby's mom Terry is an art teacher, and this was evident in the hand-printed booklets, paper treat bags, and guest bags that were given for the weekend.
Friday night was their rehearsal dinner at the beautiful Frogtown Vineyards in Dahlonega. It was a lovely evening, and I know Jaime's mom worked very hard in planning it for them. So many of their friends and family toasted the happy couple!

We were lazy on Saturday and celebrated David's birthday before getting ready to head to the wedding at Neverland Farms in Cleveland. The light mist falling during the outdoor ceremony and the fog hanging over the mountains only added to the charm of the wedding! We moved to the larger pavilion for dinner and dancing. The newlyweds left the reception amid a sea of sparklers, and headed to Atlanta. David and I drove down last night and joined them at Paces 88 inside the St.Regis hotel for a lovely, leisurely dinner where we could talk about their wedding while it was still fresh on everyone's minds. We were enjoying ourselves so much that David sneaked off from me and got us a room there for the night! The rooms there are just amazing, and I wish we could've gotten to hang around a little today and enjoy the hotel!

Here are a few shots of the details and such around the reception...


We LOVED the grooms' cake...the little fondant sign says "The hunt is over" - love it!

Her cake was gorgeous too - it was wheeled onto the dance floor so Colby and Jaime could cut it!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Smithson!
