our wedding venue.

today, my mom, dad, & i are headed south to baton rouge to tour the wedding venue. in case you're wondering where exactly justin & i are getting married in the coming months, here's the answer:


nottoway plantation, in white castle, louisiana.

when i was younger, my family would often take trips to gulf shores, alabama, for a stay at the beach each summer. we always traveled through baton rouge, & every once in a while, we would take tours of the historic antebellum homes on the river road, on our way back to shreveport. nottoway was always my favorite, & from the time i was about eleven, i have proclaimed that this is where i want to get married. my love of this historic landmark is immense, & i can't wait to simply be there again.

i couldn't be more thrilled that it's actually happening.

i wish justin was making the trip with us!

the back and forth.

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
