Kristen’s Gamecock Wedding

I’ve wanted to get the pictures up from Kristen’s gamecock wedding for days weeks now but life has been so full. Mandy @ House of Rose wrote a post about summer being a blur but rather than saying life was so busy, she said she was going to focus on saying her “life was full”. Over the past couple weeks, I’ve tried to do the same thing and be thankful mine and Cory’s summer has been filled with so much goodness rather than stressing about being too busy.

The only downside to not stressing about being busy is it takes me almost four weeks to recap my bestie’s wedding. #bestiefail AND #bloggerfail

*I took some of these photos from Kristen’s wedding photos by Famzing. Don’t worry, you can tell the difference because mine were awful. I will learn to use camera eventually.

Saturday afternoon, Cory and I headed to Taylors for the rehearsal dinner. After the rehearsal dinner, Cory went home and the girls got a hotel in Spartanburg.

Kristen was one of my first friends I made when I moved to public school. I had no idea when we started talking in 6th grade chorus that it would turn into a life long friendship but so thankful it did.

In case you couldn’t tell already by all the garnet and black {and the title of this post} but Kristen and Jarred {and pretty much everyone else at the wedding} are huge South Carolina fans. If you are familiar with the south and football, you know that Clemson and Carolina are huge rivals. So when Cocky showed up…

Gamecock "Cocky" wedding

Cory and I had to make it known we aren’t Carolina fans. After this, Cocky challenged Cory to a dance off which ended with Cory backin’ it up on Cocky. Lord, I wish I had that on video!

Maybe I can just stick my hands in my pocket and Cocky won’t come hug me. He would  have gotten dissed if he had tried. The rivalry is that strong, y’all.

Whoop, whoop! That smile just radiates happiness, doesn’t it? So happy for her and Jarred!

So it turns out that being so far behind worked out perfectly because today is Kristen’s birthday. What better way to wish her a happy birthday than have a whole post devoted to her special day??

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day, Kristen and I hope you have the happiest birthday ever you ‘ole married lady! Love you :)
