Before the Blog: Our Rehearsal Dinner Slideshow


We had our rehearsal dinner at Dressler's Restaurant, one of our most favorite places to dine in CLT. It's absolutely perfect for a dress-up-and-splurge-a-little [on dollars and calories!] date night. We love it there...the service, the food, the skyline view, and especially the desserts. And we used to be able to walk there from our old place! So lovely. :)

But this is less about rehearsal dinner and more about the a little throwback in time to the slideshow we played before toasts that night. Truthfully, I hadn't thought about the slideshow in ages until this song came on the radio yesterday. It flooded me with rehearsal dinner memories and inspired me to document this part of our story.

So here goes a happy peek into our entire lives...from our baby selves to growing up to falling in love...



I won't say I've converted my Englishman to a country boy, but did I mention that he loooves him some country music!? He even picked the last song on the slideshow. :) Eeee! Bless. And lucky me!

You can read more about how our story over here on Tara's blog. 

Thank you sharing in life with me! I am glad to have a place were this little video exists besides on a DVD crammed into the back of a cabinet. :)

Life set to music always makes me swoon.
What song epitomizes your life?
Happy Wednesday, sweet friends!

Love Always Nancy J

  1. Cute, cute! We had something much like this at our wedding. I do have to say country songs just have some great love songs! We had a lot of country songs in ours too, yet we don't listen to a lot of it.
