There are no words to describe the event, but “epic,” “elegant,” “stunning,” and “breath taking” are the ones that come the closest….

A blog before I blog

Sometimes I blog just to organize my thoughts, and after a trip to D.C for Vick’s wedding and a trip to Asheville to find our own wedding venue, this is one of those times…
