In the Course of a Year

January 12th, 2009 @ 4:29 pm by Mrs. Magnolia

On this day, one year ago, Mr. Magnolia and I said, “I do,” in front of 185 of our closest friends and family.

Tonight, we will celebrate with just our pup, Knowshon, and the bottle of Dom Perignon that Mr. Mags’ aunt gave us as a wedding gift. What a year it has been.

Save the Date, Spanx-Style

August 1st, 2008 @ 5:15 pm by Mrs. Magnolia

Atlanta resident (and undergarment savior to ladies everywhere) Sara Blakely is getting married! Per an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this morning, the Spanx founder is engaged to be married to Jesse Itzler, co-founder of Marquis Jets (and former rapper). The pair have rented out an entire resort in Boca Grande, FL for their October wedding, which I’m sure will be no small affair!

Stationery absolutely…

An Alaskan Engagement

June 25th, 2008 @ 5:48 pm by Mrs. Magnolia

We’ve been best friends since we were fifteen. And just in case anyone out there is counting, that’s almost half of our lives.

In high school, we’d show up for first period in the same outfit. She’d look at me and say, “I knew you were going to wear that.”

We lived together all through college…and we not only survived, we’re still as close as ever.

About Mrs. Magnolia

Like just about every other bride out there, I have to say that our wedding went by way too quickly. However, one decision we made, which I can honestly say that we never regretted, was not to hire a videographer. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I truly felt that if our photographer did a good job “capturing moments,” that we wouldn’t need a…

About Mrs. Magnolia

Hey hey! The Magnolias are here!

Y’all. We weren’t introduced at our reception until after 10:00 pm. It was so late, and we truly had no idea. I felt really bad - we actually missed people who had to get home to their babysitters - yikes.

(I love that Mr. Magnolia looks so surprised here, like “Hey! What’s everyone doing here?!?”

About Mrs. Magnolia

I don’t think y’all will mind, but I’ve decided to skip over the necessary-but-incredibly-boring family formal pictures that we took immediately after the ceremony. My parents and brother refused to smile for whatever reason, instead choosing the tight-lipped half-wince, while Mr. Mags’ family looked joyous and stunning. Seriously, you’d think my half of the aisle wasn’t thrilled by the union (they totally were, by the…

Magnolia Wedding, Part 9: We Did!

May 29th, 2008 @ 11:05 am by Mrs. Magnolia

After the ceremony, our photographers captured several shots that I truly wasn’t even aware of. I was so happy and so excited that we were married, I just wanted to hug everyone! The wedding party and immediate families congregated in the Parish Hall while we waited for formal portraits.

Officially Mr. and Mrs. Magnolia! Okay, so maybe I was aware of this one.

About Mrs. Magnolia

…and now, the groom’s cake. Mr. Mags and I were torn on whether or not to have one – unlike the actual wedding cake, this would not be included in our reception package. Being the huge Georgia football fans that we are, something UGA-related was the only way to go, if we did decide to have one.

FMIL and I touched on the subject with Jeff,…

Magnolia Wedding, Part 5: Mr. Mags

May 20th, 2008 @ 11:02 am by Mrs. Magnolia

Although he fought it at every turn, Mr. Magnolia eventually gave in to some formal shots as a groom-to-be. More than likely, it was just that he knew how disappointed I would be if we got our pictures back and found zero of him…

He’s so dapper, isn’t he?

About Mrs. Magnolia

Since the boys snapped up all of the sunlight for their group shots (greedy beasts…), my bridesmaids and I suffered through our photograph session by artificial light.

I kid, I kid. 35Atlanta did an amazing job of lighting the courtyard at Christ the King, and I’m truly thrilled with how our group pictures turned out!
