a princess wedding and a gypsy camp.

oh my goodness, ya'll...
can we just pretend we're not back at work and instead we're living in castles and pretending to be pricesses?
because that would be pretty much ideal at this point. and it's exactly what i did all weekend.

castle ladyhawke might be the most gorgeous place that i have ever been. between the scenery, the magic of the castle, witnessing two amazing people tie the knot, visiting my alma mater and strolling through the campus that taught me so much, and ending my sunday by visiting family... this weekend was down right perfect. in every way possible.
castle ladyhawke sits nestled in the mountains of western NC. it was once a home to a family who realized that it was too big for them when their children graduated and moved away (go figure). they sold it and it became the ultimate wedding destination. it has everything and more that a bride and her guests could want. seriously.
everything is on site and the shuttles take you wherever you want to go. hello perfect set up.

even the cabins on site are mixed in with the fairy tale theme of princess, castles, and happily ever afters. one set of cabins are known as "the fable village", while the ones we stayed in are called "the gypsy camp."
they were ridiculously cute and decorated in every perfect way possible.

the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception were an absolute blast (and we can't forget down right gorgeous thanks to our great smoky mountains). plus i had a pretty hott groomsman as a date ;) he even put on his dancing shoes for the night!

since we were so close to the campus of our alma mater for the weekend... we strolled around, reminisced, bought some new WCU t-shirts, and of course grubbed down at the mad batter- my most favorite place to eat over there! om nom nom.

sunday M and i headed over to my home town for the afternoon.
my precious 9 year old niece was being baptized, so of course we had to be there!
her heart for Christ at such a young age is truly amazing and inspiring. it was the perfect way to end our weekend!
