Glendalough Manor

Our Wedding was held at Glendalough Manor in Georgia in March 2013!

The venue was a bride's dream!! Glendalough Manor helped with each step of the planning process.  There was even a vendor day where they brought all their preferred vendors to the venue to meet with Isaac (the groom) and I to go over flowers, cake, catering, etc.  I was very happy with the wedding planning process and learned alot from the experience.  My most important tip for any bride is to find a venue that has catering and will put out your decorations for the ceremony and reception for you and your family.  This way you and your bridesmaids and family can enjoy the night before the wedding and wedding day without having to worry about table settings and such.

We had an outdoor ceremony with a reception inside in the Avondale ballroom. Pictures of the venue on signing day are below.  As some of you may notice, this is the venue that was on the show Drop Dead Diva.





Our Engagement Journey

Isaac had been planning the proposal for months.  In fact, the center diamond on Elizabeth's engagement ring was given to her by her great-grandmother, Margaret Dize.  Isaac & Elizabeth had already purchased the setting and had the ring made, so it was just a matter of time...
In May of 2011, Elizabeth was told that she would be coming to Raleigh, NC for the week to be with his family and work a soccer tournament.  However, after Isaac had picked her up from the airport, she realized that they were going a weird direction to his house.  He then announced that they were headed to the beach! Isaac then proceeded to tell her that she was to be the navigator when he gave her the directions to a hotel on the beach in Myrtle Beach!!!
When they got to the hotel, they enjoyed a nice dinner then went for a walk on the beach.  While the two of them were walking, they started talking about the future.  At this point, Isaac got down on his knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" And the rest is history!
Elizabeth said YES and now-- almost 2 years later-We celebrated our wedding on March 2, 2013

Hello Everyone!

Hi!

My name is Elizabeth and I am a newlywed in North Carolina.

I created this blog to give me an outlet where I can talk about the things that interest me.  I plan on posting reviews on different beauty products whether they be positive or negative.  I also will be posting different recipes that I am trying out from Pintrest or other sources and letting you guys know how they turn out.  Overall, this blog will en-capture my husbands and Is newlywed adventures on our own for the 1st time.

I am really excited to share my thoughts and daily life with you all and look forward to where this adventure will go.
