Saturday September 17 was Demi and Nick’s wedding day!  They got married at 5pm at the Second Presbyterian Church in Roanoke, Virginia.  Demi, my husband, and their other sister Molly lived in Roanoke when they were younger.  My father-in-law was a headmaster at a private Roanoke Catholic school.  Nick grew up in Roanoke as well, which 1. Is such a small world and 2. Crazy that Nick and Demi never ran into each other when they were little.  For the wedding, the bridesmaids wore blush Amsale gowns and the groomsmen wore tuxedos.  The wedding ceremony was extremely touching.  I cried when Demi walked down the aisle with her grandfather.  She looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress.  After the wedding ceremony, an old fashioned trolley transported the wedding guests from the Church to the reception at the Patrick Henry Hotel.   Read more

This fall we have 5 weddings we are attending!  This past weekend we had my sister-in-law’s wedding in Roanoke!  My sister-in-law, Demi, and now brother-in-law, Nick, are perfect for one another.  We had such a great time celebrating with them this weekend!  I went to Virginia Tech for college, which is only about 30 minutes from Roanoke.  However, I never really spent much time in Roanoke.  Downtown Roanoke is really precious.  They have a great selection of restaurants and boutique shops.  My husband and I got in Friday afternoon and grabbed a late lunch at Fork in the Alley.  After stuffing our faces with pizza, we walked around the shops for a bit.  We ended up buying artwork for our home from a local street vendor.  After exploring downtown Roanoke, we checked into our hotel. We stayed at the Hotel Roanoke, which is absolutely gorgeous and looks like a castle.  Read more
