a chilly sunday

It's been very cold in Georgia the past few weeks and yesterday was no exception. After church, Taylor and I went to our wedding venue to ask the owners a few questions about set up and get a better feel for where everything will go on the big day!

the beautiful home
We're getting married at Fair Havens Plantation, which is about 8 miles outside of Athens, GA. We picked this site for a few reasons. First, we're in the south- what better place to get hitched than on a real plantation!? And this beautiful home was actually used for a ball in 1825 that honored the French general Jean Marquis de Lafayette for his assistance in the American Revolutionary War. Another reason we fell in love with the land is because we're outdoorsy- we've always imagined our ceremony outside and the 30 acre pastoral setting (with horses AND gardens) fit the bill perfectly.

the lawn
Our ceremony will take place on the lawn. Walking out there yesterday felt a little surreal- like this actually gonna happen! Right here! I can't wait for it to be filled with the people who mean so much to us.

The owners of Fair Havens could not be easier and more pleasant to work with. We feel so blessed that God has let us work with such great people throughout this entire process.

Today Taylor is studying for his exam to be a Health Fitness Specialist and I'm working on some stuff with my internship. Everyone's been saying this time is gonna fly by and that definitely feels true so far!

Our engagement story should be up soon and we'll be posting info about all our other awesome vendors this week! Have a great day!
