We came home to the States and headed straight for Knoxville where we had a wonderful weekend of celebrations! A rehearsal dinner (which we called a Roast and Toast since there was nothing to rehearse) with lots of fun stories told and memories made! Highlights were the grits bar (a hit amongst our Northern relatives) and the Rice Krispie Treat cake (Clay's favorite).
The next day we split up and the guys went to a sports bar for a friendly pool tournament complete with brackets and the ladies had a lovely luncheon at the Donaldsons.
That night we had a reception complete with dinner and dancing at Gettysvue. I got my hair and makeup done by people who spoke English and it turned out much better! It was a wonderful evening celebrating with friends and family! We were relaxed, tan and had nowhere to be but present with our favorite people!
Some of my favorite pics:
I got to wear my grandmother Madeline's earrings- very special!
Clay and his brothers- this is very typical Councill
The Connor FamilyCrazy that we have added four kids and Julia (almost) to our family since then!
It has been an amazing, adventure-filled five years and I cannot wait for many, many more!
I love you Clay!
