Our third and final wedding shower was this past Sunday, and it was the perfect ending to these pre-wedding events! The first shower was a personal shower, the second a bridal shower (with Preston there to open gifts) and our final was a couples shower. It was so much fun to have all three really tailored to include all our friends and family from both sides, and we couldn’t feel more blessed with the outpouring of love and support.
One of our most loved family friends and Preston’s mother went in together to throw this beautiful, evening gathering. It was located at ClaiHill Farm in LaFollette, Tennessee, and included mine and Preston’s friends and most of Preston’s (and now my) family members. One of the best parts about dating so long has been the ability to truly know and love each other’s family and extended family so well. I was accepted into Preston’s family many years ago, and now it’s just official, which makes celebrating so much fun.
We kicked off the evening with dozens of cheese pairings spread throughout the house for the perfect munching! It was the perfect, cool night, and ClaiHill’s screened patio was the perfect location for an outdoor, but warm, location. We took so many photos in front of this cute banner, and Preston and I are already trying to figure out when we could have an excuse to use it next.
Dinner was served, and it was the perfect barbecue and fried apple pie selection! We followed dinner by opening up gifts from our friends and family, and we were so happy to receive so many items from our registry as well as the most thoughtful gifts.
