Last weekend, we headed to Scott, Arkansas for the beautiful wedding of my cousin, Brooke and her groom, Josh. It was a wonderfully sweet, Southern celebration at a beautiful plantation just outside of Little Rock called Marlsgate. Here are the pics!
The setting could not be better for a gorgeous ceremony!
For the rehearsal evening, cowboy boots were encouraged! I was happy to oblige!
My little cousin, and the bride's brother, Scott. I have lots and lots of great memories with this guy!
Keith snaps a pic with the lovely bride!
My Aunt and Uncle looking so relaxed, even though I know it was a busy weekend!
The rehearsal dinner was at Cotham's - an old hole-in-the-wall with the best Southern down home cooking!
How cute is this!!?? The Bride and Groom had an old truck parked out front filled with fresh produce for the takin'. What a lovely take-home gift for everyone!
We definitely filled up several sacks, so for the next few days it was all about peach cobbler, squash casserole, fresh plums for breakfast, caprese salad with those tomatoes - Yum!
Posing with the cute bride and groom!
My sweet tea lovin' husband!
The staff at Cotham's were given aprons to wear - so cute!
More family pics!
I couldn't eat at Cotham's without having their famous Hubcab burger - I only had about half, but it was insanely good!
My Dad and Scott - or as they refer to themselves, Uncro and Nephro
Wedding Day had arrived! We had a great day getting pampered - first it was nails, then hair and makeup - fun times!

Bridesmaids and the Bride! This is just before we hopped in the limo to take the ride to the plantation - such a fun idea!
Beautiful gals!
I loved the way my hair had been styled. I wouldn't mind having someone do that every week :)

Stunning!
The Bride and her parents; love this pic.

A little relaxing before the I Dos - Brooke and Josh didn't see each other before hand, making that big moment even sweeter!
Reception time! The tent was decked out in big, beautiful flowers.
The lawn was equipped with games.
And, lots of friends and family were there to celebrate! Here I am with my Jantastic!

Couldn't pass up this opportunity for another pic with Grandma
One of my favorite things? Brooke changed into her mother's dress that she wore when she married my Uncle Greg years ago. It was the most precious barbie-doll dress and it fit Brooke perfectly. So sweet!
Time for a sparkler send-off...
A nice, long sparkly walk out!
Happy parents!
On our way home, we happened to pass the newlyweds!
