I ventured to a new land for to witness the nuptials of Kait and Casey Patterson – West Virginia. Casey was raised in Buckhannon, and I had the pleasure of seeing his home town and meeting his incredible family. I also got to spend the days leading up to the wedding hanging out with Kait and her family which was a joy. I met so many wonderful people and enjoyed catching up with high school friends I hadn’t seen in years. West Virginia was beautiful! Lucky for us the weather was practically perfect in every way – barely a drop of humidity, and about 75 degrees. It did rain a bit on the wedding day but that’s good luck! So alls well that ends well. Overall, amazing trip. I came home absolutely exhausted and probably could have slept 24 hours solid. So worth it.
Congratulations to the happy couple! Your love is such a witness of Christ’s love. May God bless you and guide you as you transition into your life as husband and wife. xoxo

a dillightful adventure 
I think I’ve met Rachel before! At my friend Mariel’s wedding! She looks so familiar. You look gorgeous Ashlie. Beautiful wedding!
yeah! She asked if I knew Mariel (unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of knowing Mariel!) so Rachel must be the one you’re thinking of 🙂
Love the photos! And – you were in my state 🙂 (well, it’s not exactly mine, but you know what I mean!). Yes, it is beautiful here, we call it “Almost Heaven, West Virginia” 🙂
Yes! Your state! It’s gorgeous. I had no idea what to expect, but all the rolling hills and trees made my heart swoon. Lucky lady to live in such a lovely place 🙂
mark.
