Cortney's Wedding Part 1: The Bridesmaid Luncheon

This past weekend was a VERY special one !! As most of you know my best friend got married. Many of many prayers have been said for her to find her husband and for her dream to become a wife to come true. God is very good and did answer those prayers.
I got to the big Alabama town of Florence (aka.. Flo-Town) on Thursday evening. I was blessed enough to be able to stay the weekend at the Browning House with Ms. Carolyn (Cort's mom), Amy (Cort's sister), and Cortney (the Bride herself)..
We started off the Wedding Festivities on Friday with the Bridesmaid Luncheon. It was outside and we had beautiful weather. As a gift from the Bridesmaids we got her a Vera Bradley bag with some honeymoon must and a Scrapbook. Each Bridesmaid was in charge of making two pages and we put them all together in a book. Knowing how much Cort loves pictures (almost as much as me).. This was a perfect gift for her.. I would love to say it was my idea, but it was not !!!

Here is Cort looking through her scrapbook.. I love her face in this picture !!!

Here is Cort looking at the pages that I made for her.. Trust me when I say much love and time went into those pages, but it was well worth it !!!
