One of my very best friends and roommates in college, Kelly, was raised in Waynesville, NC. She has an amazing group of friends that she has been friends with for years and we were lucky enough to become good friends with a lot of them, also. This past weekend one of Kelly’s best friends and our roommate for a summer, Alison, got married to a very lucky man, Nick.
Their wedding was ABSOLUTELY beautiful! They got married at the chapel at Lake Junaluska and had the reception at the Waynesville Country Club. They looked so happy and so in love and I am so glad that we were able to be a part of it!
Luckily for all of us, we got to attend this fantastic event, which was also a reason for all of us to get together!!! Our friend Jenna’s mom and stepdad were nice enough to host us for the weekend and they were FANTASTIC hosts! Jenna’s stepdad, Butch, made chocolate chip pancake (banging!!) and amazing southern breakfasts!
So Friday afternoon I took a half day and came home to relax before Brian + Michelle came and picked me up. Jason had a game that night and stayed in Winston and then joined us on Saturday. We met up with our friend Katie and her boyfriend, Matthew, at Jenna’s house. We headed to the Waynesville Country Club for dinner and some dranking (don’t worry…I was the DD)! After the rehearsal dinner was over we were able to meet up with everyone! It was so great to see our long lost friends!
My girls – Kelly, Katie, and Michelle
Katie backing it up in the ridiculously large football helmet. Definitely the prop of the weekend for lots of ridiculous pictures!
Brian and Michelle playing hostesses with the mostesses! Might have been believable, but the beer threw some people off.
After we all got home that night, we were delighted with the pleasure of Michelle reading us children’s books until the wee hours of the morning. HILARIOUS.
The next morning we all got to sleep in and eat an awesome breakfast. Then we decided to bop around the cute downtown of Waynesville until we needed to start getting ready for the wedding. These are some awesome sculptures downtown.
After we took this picture we saw this sign:
Oopsy!!
Then we got ready and headed out for the wedding. By this point Jason had made it up and we were all coupled up and ready to go!
The wedding was so much fun! We got to see a lot of friends we hadn’t seen in a long time, which is definitely the best part about weddings. We ate some FANTASTIC food and danced the night away! The party continued, but since I had kicked it so late the night before I was finished. So Jason + I were the old couple that left at 11:30 and headed to bed!
On Sunday we lounged around for a bit and then headed to Asheville. Kelly and her boyfriend, Dr. Drew, just moved into a precious house that we needed to check out and we were able to go out to lunch for Kelly’s birthday! Papa’s and Beer is probably my favorite mexican place of all time – don’t tell the peeps at El Maguey!!
We were able to get the waiters attention and let him know it was Kelly’s birthday. So they all came over with their maracas and singing their song. They also had some fried ice cream and the whole time a guy had a spoonful that he was trying to give to Kelly. Every time Kelly would learn forward, he’d pull it away. It was ridiculously funny. Then he finally got it all over her face!!
After seeing Kelly and Drew’s place it was time to head back to life, back to reality! I miss everyone already and we need someone else to get married soon so we can get back together – hint, hint!
I love this post!! I guess partly because some of it is about me, hehe. I love all of your pictures and wonderful things you had to say about Waynesville. I'm so happy you all could be a part of our wedding day. It was so special to have the Wilmington gang all back together and there with us. Love you!
