Taylor gets hitched!

A dear friend of mine got married this weekend in Asheville.  She couldn't have picked a more beautiful weekend with more perfect weather.  Taylor and Jesse tied the knot on Saturday in an outdoor ceremony off of historic Charlotte Street overlooking a mountain spotted with orange, yellow, and red.  It was breath taking!  Then we took Asheville's historic trolleys downtown to the reception site.  I can't wait to see the photographer's pictures since I didn't take any myself (oops).

Taylor and I have been friends since the 7th grade.  We grew up together, remaining close friends through boyfriends and breakups, sleepovers and cheerleading trips, and high school and college graduation.  We were 2 of the 6 crazy girls who lived together our last 2 years of college, sharing a bathroom together downstairs in our big apartment.  She played a huge part in helping Brandon pull off our engagement.  We've been through a lot and grown up together along the way.  It was a great honor to stand beside her on her wedding day!  It was also fun to get the college girls all back together again, something that doesn't happen often enough since we are scattered all over the country now.  In care you're curious, Taylor lives in Charlotte, Jamie lives in Florida, Rebecca lives in Denver, Meredith lives in Arkansas, and Karin lives in Washington, D.C. Like I said, all over the country!
