Last night, during a conversation with a friend, I was told that “you just said ‘slim pickin’s, butter beans, mamaw dean, corn on the cob & potato cakes’ all within 60 seconds….that’s country.”
Yep. That’s right. I’m southern y’all & I love everything about it. Growing up in the south is probably one of the greatest gifts God ever game me. Rich tradition, southern drawls, college football, chivalry, gentlemen, sweet tea, fried okra, hot biscuits & gravy, fried chicken, collard greens, hot pepper vinegar, 75 degree winter days, sugar white sand beaches, magnolia trees & sweet southern hospitality…what more could you ever want?
When I think of the south, I think of comfort, warmth, love & the beautiful outdoors.
I love being outdoors. I’m not talking about hiking, camping, mountain climbing or any of that craziness, I’m talking about a lush green lawn with the warm sunshine & a tall glass of sweet tea. I’m talking about a good book with my toes in the sugary white sand while soaking up the salt & the sun. I’m thinking about a 75 degree day on the front porch swing…..oh my stars, I just can’t get enough! I adore being outside, which is why I L.O.V.E. a sweet southern wedding so much.
Outdoor weddings are my absolute, hands down, 100% favorite & it thrills me to live in a place where a bride can plan an outdoor ceremony almost year-round without much fear of harsh temperatures.
What is your favorite thing about a southern wedding?
