Best weekend! Edwin and I have had so much fun in Charleston this week wedding planning, seeing my parents, and catching up with friends. We got lots and lots accomplished for our wedding and had the pleasure of taking engagement photos with our wedding photographer (so much fun! I even cried!). We ate lots of good food (we tried McCrady’s and all I can say is wow!), saw some live music, walked a ton, and went to the beach. Now it’s Super Bowl Sunday and I’m happy as a clam. I hope you’ve all had wonderful weekends too. Enjoy my weekend reads on a commercial break during the game today. Lots of love from Charleston! xx
