We've been super busy in the Bengala/Young household as always, sometimes Matt and I are like ships passing in the night. Some people may not like this kind of relationship but when Matt and I do get to spend time together, it's amazing! I think some couples take each other's time for granted when they get to see their significant other all the time but Matt and I are together we have each other's full attention. It's hard to maintain a relationship by text message and phone but we are able to connect with each other most times of the day, so even if I don't really see him, we still know what is going on with each other.
Almost two weekends ago, we got to take a short trip up to Cedar Mountain, NC for some good friends of ours wedding, Blaire Cannon & Zach Nichols. I luckily was a bridesmaid for Blaire. Blaire originally asked me to be a bridesmaid last year and I told her no but that I would do a reading or something else within the ceremony. I guess I just felt too old for that kind of stuff or some silly reason. Thankfully, Blaire called me back a few months after I rejected her proposal;-) and asked me again and I said yes. I can't tell you how thankful I am that she called me back because I was so honored to be part of that wedding!!! The love that she and Zach have for each other just gushes! It was the most laid back and non-formal wedding I have ever been to and it was perfect! It was held at Camp High Rocks where the two of them met when they were counselors. You couldn't of asked for a more perfect setting and day! So thank you Blaire, from the bottom of my heart for asking me a 2nd time! I would of truly regretted not being part of your wedding.
Matt fished Friday & Saturday while we set up. He was in heaven and was in need of this R&R time!
Beautiful lake at Camp High Rocks
Blaire & a bridesmaid!
Awesome bridal party!
Blaire made all of the scarves that the bridesmaids were wearing. All hand painted silk scarves, each different for the individual.
Me and my handsome man!
Another great think about being one of Blaire's bridesmaids is she told all of us to wear a black dress. So we picked whatever we wanted, whatever style, material, whatever jewelry & shoes.
Made things less stressful.
She was beautiful like a goddess! Her dress was perfect for her! Loved it!
The handsome groom, Zach!
Having a little fun with the groom!
Unfortunately, it was back to reality way too soon after the wedding but such is life. It was good to get home and see our furry critters and turtle. Which by the way, TURTLE IS A GIRL!! You don't even want to know how the heck I found that out, but yep, Turtle is a girl!
This weekend, my supervisor from work, Kristen King, is coming over to do a photo shoot with Matt, me and our animals. Should make for a very interesting time as Kristen has never photographed animals before. Trying to get one horse and two dogs all in sync will be fun. No cats or turtle for pic but be on the look out for some funny family pics.
Til next time.....Rock on!
