Wedding Weekend

Way back when T and I first started talking about getting married and weddings - we knew we wanted to do something small with family - we wanted to spend quality time hanging out with our families - and we wanted our families to have a lot of time to get to know each other. I know some people were a little worried about 3 days of activities - and thought they'd be bored after day 1 - but I don't think that was the case. We had a wonderful time with our families leading up to the wedding! Thanks to everyone who took the time off work and traveled to be with us!!!! It was a very special weekend :)

Haley and Hannah loved some Annabelle :)

Thursday night, those who were in town headed over to Narrows to eat at Anna's. They serve a southern buffet dinner and have live bluegrass on Thursday nights. The pouring down rain outside didn't deter our fun inside! It was a really good time and a great atmosphere for first introductions and getting to know each other. More Anna's Pictures




We spent Friday afternoon at a place called New River's Edge. Pretty much a playground on the river about 20 minutes from Blacksburg. There's a huge pavilion where we served lunch. Horseshoes, Cornhole, Volleyball, really any game you want to play. A fire pit, tons of chairs to relax in, a gazebo. Canoes, Kayaks. Fishing. A lodge with real bathrooms. The place can't be beat. It felt kinda like a family reunion :) The owner Paul Moody could not be a nicer guy. Paul and his wife went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to fishing with Paul and more outings at 'The Edge'. More River Pictures



Friday night everyone came over to 101. Yvonne catered an amazing meal! It was fun to show everyone our house, to hear the kids screaming and laughing in the backyard, and to relax with everyone. By this time almost everyone was in town so it was a full house! More 101 Pictures

Sat morning some of the guys got up really early and headed over to Castle Rock in Pembroke to play in the Giles County Chamber of Commerce Tournament. They didn't come home with any trophies - but I think some won door prizes - and I know they had fun! While the guys were golfing - the women headed over to Classic Body Image Salon and Day Spa. We got massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, make-up, and hair done :) What a relaxing morning! Thanks again to Yvonne for bringing in our lunch, and mom for making the Mimosas :) Sorry I don't have pictures.



I don't think we could have found a better home base for the weekend. Inn at Riverbend was an amazing setting. The fog over the river every morning, an amazing breakfast, Linda the Innkeeper making sure all was good, the guys playing Tiger Woods Golf on the WII, a fun place to spend the weekend with family!
