I'm into names. What they mean, where they come from....all that good stuff. I mean, my future kids' names are already picked out. Middle names included. Yup, I'm owning it.
Naturally, I gave special thought to the name of this blog, and I figured it would be appropriate to explain how "cheers y'all" got its name. Some decor details from our wedding day say it best. They were made personally and perfectly by the oh-so-lovely Becca from Rebecca Rose Events (Thanks, Becca!!!).

"Cheers" in the title our blog isn't meant to be interpreted merely as the afterthought of a post-toast-drink-clink. With my English hubby's influence, it's also meant to be an expression of gratitude. A way of saying thank you.
I added "y'all" to put the "down home" feel on it. I'm a Southerner born and raised. "Y'all" has always been a part of my vernacular. Even Mark has been caught saying it on many occasions...even though he can't take himself seriously when he does (and neither can anyone else). :)

I loved this glowy candlelight setup at our wedding!!!
Can you spot the dusty miller too? Also obsessed with that greenery. It's my favorite.

Koozies for clinking the beer bottles in a toast AND as a "thank you for coming!"

So glad to hear the story behind your name! And I love that it was tied into the wedding, too! It's really cute, but meaningful at the same time. A great combination! :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny that your husband says y'all! Riley uses it in every other sentence, but it has yet to come out of my mouth naturally, haha. I don't know if I have it in me!
