Ruth Anne & Philip's Wedding weekend

My younger sister, Ruth Anne got married on June 28th, and it was so much fun to be in York the week of the wedding and to celebrate with Ruth Anne & Philip on Saturday!

My mom and sisters and I were able to get pedicures and manicures then we met up with our sisters-in-law, Heather & Lindsey, for supper and girl time.

Preparations at the church- my sweet mom and dad worked tirelessly, in the yard, at the church to make sure Ruth Anne & Philip had a special day.

The rehearsal dinner was at The Dairy Barn in Fort Mill.  It was a beautiful venue and the entertainment was great!  Philip's cousins have a tradition of writing their own lyrics to "Going to the Chapel" based on whoever is getting married- very creative, although I think poor Ruth Anne & Philip felt roasted after the night was over.  We really do love y'all!!

Mama & Ruth Anne

Saturday morning, my Aunt Cathy and cousin Margaret had a special bridal breakfast for Ruth Anne.  Ruth Anne made us all cry by telling each of us how we'd influenced her and we had a sweet time of prayer for her and Philip.

Sadly, this is the only picture I have of the bride and groom...I snuck a peak at their "First Look".  Ruth Anne was a beautiful bride and Philip was such a sweet groom.  I wish I had more pictures, but of course things got really busy after this.  Ruth Anne and Philip, we're so thankful that God brought y'all together and for his faithfulness to y'all!
