Brandi's Big Day

One of my bridesmaids, Brandi, got married 3 weeks after Wes and I.  I was honored to get to be a part of her big day because it was so great to have her their for mine.  
She and Jared got married at the Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville.  It is a beautiful antebellum home with amazing grounds.  It was the perfect location for a Fall wedding.  
Jared is a Naval Aviator so the wedding was pretty formal with all the to-do that the Navy does: the sword arch was my favorite part!  

Really awkward of me (far right in blue dress)...but this is at the bridesmaid's luncheon.  

Brandi and her sweet momma

Yes, I am drinking a beer before we walk down the aisle...it had been a LONG DAY.  At the beauty salon for 6 hours, pictures for almost 3...I deserved it! 

 

And, no, those are not "drunk eyes", those are "let's get this show on the road eyes".  Sarah and I were the only non-pregnant BMs so she drank one with me.  We were bored and beyond the point of being tired.  Not to worry though, we rallied and had a grand ole time at the reception!  

Brandi's dress was large and in charge!!  And gorgeous!!!

Couldn't be happier for the two of them.  They had dated for 8 years and it was TIME!  I just hope Jared gets stationed somewhere closer in the near future.  Washington state is TOO far!
