our wedding invitations.

let's play catch up.
can you believe that in 2 months and 4 days we will be husband and wife? i can. want to know why i can believe it? because i've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. i actually hate the phrase so let's pretend i didn't say that. anyway, if you hadn't noticed by how i have started my last couple of posts (or lack thereof), i have been busy. let's do a quick recap, however, shall we?
lee and i were invited to 9 weddings this year; 1 being our own of course. some overlapped dates, and others we had things going on, so we couldn't make them all. however, we are going to 7 so you can check out the #leeandamandaweddingtour on my instagram for more on that. you read about katie & matt's wedding here, and this below was adam & estafania's wedding. aren't their programs so dang cute?
also that weekend was bridal shower number 2. this one was held at my parents house in roxboro, nc where a lot of my bridesmaids and long time friends and family came over to celebrate. lee and i played the "newlywed game" which is always lots of fun. we did good! out of all of the 20 questions, we averaged about 75%. that's passing in college right? right.
hands down one of the coolest things were the light up bracelets that everyone wore. they would vibe to the beat of the music, and changed colors through the show. if you can't tell below, we were a little excited about these.

twin baby girls!
and before you start with the congratulations.... they are not mine. can you imagine? planning a wedding, 6 month homeowners and having twins?! no. no i can't.
but regardless, twins are the news for one of our friends, taylor & sean! they have been married for a few years now, have an amazing home, and on this past saturday, we found out they will be bringing two fraternal baby girls in the world. of course, i knew their gender reveal would be so cute - and with those "baby A & baby B" boxes and the "what's your guess?" diaper votes below, how could it not be?
we first found out taylor and sean were having a baby around a month and a half or so ago when we were all out for a friends dinner. they looked at each other, looked at us, and placed an ultrasound picture down on the table. we all squealed as we knew they had been wanting to have a baby and then taylor said "now, look closer." on the ultrasound were not one, but TWO circles surrounding two babies.
if you're anything like me, you need that circle because at this point in my life, i still cannot read an ultrasound to save my life. needless to say, we were very excited to find out the gender.
at the reveal, there were various fruits/veggies that were a timeline of the baby's weight and size. have you ever seen that before? i certainly had not and thought it was such a cute idea. from teeny olives to bigger veggies like sweet potatoes, the girls timeline was spread out across the deck.
taylor and sean knew it was two girls before anyone else did, so they let the grandmothers open one box and the grandfathers open box two. i got this on video and i promise you, it's the most adorable reaction ever.

bridal shower number one.
i feel like the last few times i have posted have started with an apology for kinda being mia in the blog world. honestly, everything is just moving at a million miles an hour! but i know for a fact, i want these important times documented so here we are with bridal shower number one.
i mean, how beautiful. it was a combination of the gorgeous cake itself, the ladies that took time to do this for me, and the "bride to be" that sat atop the cake. it was just so much awesome energy going around the room, i couldn't handle it! we got settled and people started to arrive. and let me just tell you - if it wasn't for this lady in this picture, i don't know where i'd be emotionally.
a full dining table complete with all this amazing food and desserts. we socialized, ate, drank some wine (good for the nerves!) as everyone got there with their amazing gifts for lee and i.
see what i mean? are we lucky or what?
and of course these sweet little favors which said "sweet wishes from the soon to be Mrs." i probably teared up at this too. wouldn't you?!
