pamela and eric

The joy of this blog for me is memories - looking back at past posts - reliving each and every special occasion. I hope this finds you pleasure as well. Through my blog it's obvious the things I love and where I draw my inspiration. I'm sure the list of family, friends, food, flowers, birthdays, details, design, style, parties, weddings { I could go on and on}... is rolling through your head. It's constantly flowing through mine.

And here's where the fun part of all of the above comes in...there are so many fabulous events that happened (such as Holly's wedding!) before I started Social Graces last July. I want to share as many of them with you as I see fit and it is quite appropriate today to share with you the wedding festivities of my dear friends Pamela and Eric. Today they are celebrating their first anniversary ~ hip hip hooray!

This time last year was spent traveling along the Gulf coast to the Clearwater area. It seemed as if there was a road trip with the girls nearly every other weekend and we had not a worry in sight - just the beach breezes in our hair and the sound of wedding bells drawing near. Parties, parties, and more parties...I was there.

Pamela's wedding marked the first college friend to get married and started the long chain effect. These posts will be fun and filled with lots of pictures and don't worry because I have at least one each month through June...including two brand spanking new weddings to toast! And they all include moi in all my bridesmaid glory. enjoy~
