I don’t think there’s another word to describe this weekend other than perfect. It was a beautiful weekend filled with celebrations of life and love. All I can say is that I am so sad the weekend is over. Here’s a quick recap of all that happened:

Kevin’s Birthday Celebrations

Little brother turned 22 this weekend, and we decided that he needed a 3-day celebration. Friday was spent in our hometown’s downtown trying out Sailfish Brewing Company and 2nd Street Bistro. Special thanks to his sweet ~~friend~~ brother Mark for gathering the troops! Mark, we had a family vote – you’re in; 3-1… I won’t tell you who was 1! Saturday was spent opening gifts with family and blaring T-Swift’s 22 track.

I always have the hardest time shopping for Kevin, but this year I worked around a theme: summertime. All the gifts were ones he’d need from a floating tube to a water proof phone case. My favorite find was a floating pingpong table seen below:

Celebrating Platts

My sweet, sweet friend Jayne married the love of her life this weekend, and I was so blessed to see their beautiful wedding. It was a blissful occasion filled with such joy and love! I adore weddings – there’s something so delightful about seeing everyone together to celebrate the happy couple.

At Jayne’s bridal shower, there was a game played where we used the first letter of our name to describe her. Well, my word would be radiant. Jayne radiates kindness and beauty inside + out!

There were so many exciting happenings at the wedding that, naturally, I got distracted and forgot to continue taking pictures. I got so in the moment of the celebration that it completely left my mind to capture it. But isn’t that the best kind? I’m sad that I didn’t snap some more pictures, but I’m excited to see the official ones.
