Saturday morning Will and I woke up and went to Tupelo Honey with Will's sister before our friends Allison and Zane got to town. That afternoon and all through the night we celebrate our dear friends Ally and Chandler! I was so excited for their wedding day to finally arrive, and when it did, I could easily say that it ended up being one of the most heartfelt and most beautiful wedding I have ever been to. And I am not exaggerating one bit.
The ceremony took place at The Cathedral of Saint Patrick, followed by the reception at The Peninsula Club on Lake Norman. Both venues were decorated beautifully and it was really neat taking part in a Catholic wedding as this was my first! And how awesome is their hash tag: #tyingtheknox :)

Before heading to the reception itself, we had a bit of downtime so a group of us decided to go to Fahrenheit, which is a restaurant on the 21st floor of the Skye Condos. Hands down they have one heck of a view of Charlotte and the best milk and cookies which I highly recommend.
After our quick pit stop, we made our way to the reception where we were able to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. Knox! I had a blast getting to spend my holiday weekend with so many wonderful people, do some dancing, eat lot's of amazing food, take a ton of pictures and catch up with old friends. And on top of all of that, all of Will's favorite NC State soccer friends were at the wedding so we sat outside on the patio telling old stories and laughing at all the good times they had.
Saturday was here before we knew it and we had to say bye to our friends who had to head back home. After reflecting back on my weekend, I am reminded of how blessed I am. Blessed to have best friends and family that love me. Blessed to be able to dance and move and see and speak. Blessed in so many ways.
sounds like such a wonderful weekend! plus, you looked darling throughout, those blues are amazing on you!

St. Patrick's is my church and that picture is beautiful! I have never been to a wedding there. Loved seeing Farenheit in the day, maybe I should try it out soon! Glad you had a good weekend!
