Valerie & the girls enjoyed a nice luncheon overlooking a beautiful golf course:

Pictures from Valerie’s youth were incorporated into the centerpieces.


I liked this shot of Valerie’s grandmother holding her hand as Valerie welcomed her guests.

And what is a good luncheon without some hilarious roasts?

And touching toasts…



Cake charms have been all the rage at our recent weddings:

Ryan & the boys pretended to golf after a quick lunch at BW3. (kidding, Ryan)



Cotton was growing all around the perimeter of the course - I don’t think I’d ever seen cotton growing up close before that day:

four.




In the brush:


After the luncheon, Meg made a quick stop at Valerie’s house. She had the privelage of meeting Captain (Ryan’s dog). Captain would best be described as…what I am looking for…hyper?

The party continued later that evening at Rosie’s Cantina.





Rosie’s has a cool mariachi band made of welded metal. We lit it up!

Thanks, Nat!
Yay we made the blog!
For a little more info, the bridesmaid luncheon was held at The Ledges, www.theledges.com, on Huntsville Mountain. It was ABSOLUTELY beautiful!
And Richland Golf Center, where some of the boys spent Friday (I believe Charles swung a club, as well, right?), is a Par 3 course, putting course, and driving range owned by my uncle. www.richlandgolf.com
