Jay made the comment to me last night that he was surprised I haven’t posted a lot about the wedding this week (or last). We were really busy last weekend as we finished all the details and attended our last shower.
Friday night we started the weekend by taping place cards to Benne Wafers. Benne Wafers are unique to the Low Country since Colonial times, Benne (the Bantu-word for sesame) was brought from East Africa and planted extensively throughout the South. For more on the history, visit Old Colony Bakery’s website.
Saturday, my mom and I packed up all our decorations and labeled them for the venue. One of our little touches are postcard table numbers. Each postcard is of a place Jay and I visited together.
Then we were off to our bar shower, so graciously hosted by my aunts.
We had a lot of fun catching up with local friends and family that we do not get to see enough!!
And of course, a picture of the spread! The food was great and my aunts served several things Jay and I both love (like Sushi and Deviled Eggs, yum!). My cousin also made us the cutest mini cup cakes with a little “S&J” in our wedding colors on fondant. They were very impressive, I just wish I had snapped a picture!
That’s it for now. 11 days!
