We both work in politics and share a love of University of Georgia football, pop culture, and good food! I'm a runner who adores wedding magazines, bad reality television, and a good glass of wine. Most of the time I like to think I'm pretty organized, but between wedding planning, house hunting, and a full-time job, I'm being put to the test!
About Mrs. Magnolia

While we were primping for literally hours at our house about four and a half miles away, Mr. Magnolia and his groomsmen walked around Piedmont Park, toured the Coke Museum, and eventually made their way back to the hotel roughly fifteen minutes before they were due to start taking pictures. Our photographer, Ray, actually sat around at the Four Seasons for a couple of hours, waiting for the boys. At one point, he was approached by a security team and questioned about his photography equipment - it turns out, the Chicago Bulls were in town to play the Atlanta Hawks, and they were staying at the Four Seasons as well. Security was afraid he might be paparazzi! (Well, he was - but for me, not them!) :)

But hey, he got this great shot:

I love this picture of my husband-to-be. He was pretty nervous all day, but he looks perfectly relaxed here!

I have been looking everywhere for the coozie in your pictures. I have the bride version and would love to locate the groom one for my FI. Do you know where you found it or who makes it?

@Jenningsblue: Jenningsblue, the koozie was a gift for Mr. Mags from one of my bridesmaids. I’m not sure where she picked it up, but I’ll definitely ask her and let you know!

Team Magnolia should have challenged the Bulls to a little hall ball! ;)

Cute that Mr M had butterflies, though he does look like a cool customer in the pics.
