The McCarthy's: Tennessee Part 1

For the last two weeks I have been in Tennessee, basically all over TN. I went to TN because my best friend Christy was getting married on the 11th. On Friday, July 1st, I flew into Nashville, where she lives in a suburb called Franklin right outside Nashville. That Friday we went out to eat with one of her friends to a place called Sapphire.

The place was pretty good food, but kinda pricy. We also got a drink and they were really expensive and not very good. oh well, It was still fun to see her.

On Saturday some of her friends drove in from Knoxville for her bachelorette party. We went into downtown Nashville for an “Amazing Race” type scavenger hunt. We broke into teams and had envelopes with card clues in them. It was a lot of fun.

Christy’s camera has all the pictures from that night with out group. It was fun to be downtown, on the strip seeing where country music happens. That night we went to Margaritaville for dinner, and stayed the night at the Sheraton.

That weekend Christy was housesitting for one of the doctors at her work. His house was AMAZING!

It is also for sale, so if someone would like to give me $2.5million I would really appreciate it. haha.

Monday, July 4th, her cousin and her family came over to swim at that amazing pool and then we went to their house for a barbeque. It was a nice little fourth of July. Christy had to go to work on Tuesday, and a half day Wednesday. Wednesday after she got off work we drove to Knoxville, well technically Maryville, about 3 hours away. We got there just in time for Christy and Jim’s (her dad) dancing lesson.

Thursday we went up to the church to start decorating it. Her theme was Christmas in July (her and Joey-her finance- met at while on ski patrol, and winter/Christmas is when their relationship took off). So we set up a lot of Christmas trees.

Friday was the rehearsal and dinner. Russell flew in Friday and came up to the church and took some pictures. Mom and dad also flew up and met us at dinner.

practicing was a bit chaotic

Saturday was the wedding. We got up to the church at 8:30 to get our hair done. Pictures started at noon. Then we had some time to kill until three, when the wedding started, so we played Taboo. It was lots of fun. Her wedding was lots of fun, and very beautiful.
