Home Sweet Home

If location is everything, then what better place to have a wedding than the place of your sweetest childhood memories? I know, we've already established the when and where and I've gushed about it plenty since, but Christmas just passed and winter is the time for sentiment. So here are some pictures of Jeyko and I at my favorite place on earth. I wish I actually had some old photos of this place from when we were kids (although Jeyko wouldn't be in them), but these from summer make me just as happy:)

That beautiful lady in silver is my Grandmommy, by the way. <3

 Because the orchard has been let go over the years, some of the fruit trees are now home to other plants and vines which have more or less taken over, like these wild mucadine grapes that the birds have spread. However, sometimes it is good to let nature take its toll (to an extent)...these wild beauties are as tart and delicious as they are ethyreal looking.



There are many more pictures like this one of Jeyko holding the kitties...or the puppy...or kids, but I will refrain from flooding this site with images showing off my fiance's ability to be utterly adorable. For this picture, I have the excuse of using the background as a reference to the general area where our ceremony is going to be.

Unfortunately, some of these trees will have to be removed. The rest will need to be cleaned up big time. The orchard has definitely fallen to disarray in the last several years, but most of the trees still produce in the spring. We've got our work cut out for us, that's for sure, but it will be so worth it in May.

This is the little church across the street that my Papaw helped build long before I was a thought, and where I watched him preach for years.

I just like this picture:)

Now we're headed down to the pond, where we are thinking of doing the reception.

And I had to finish on a feel good! This is one of my favorite photos of all time, even though I look like I have crazy happy feet. lol. On the gazebo with two of the most wonderful people. I can't wait to marry that man!
