I'm not good with secrets

Secrets just aren't my thing. I never want to tell the person the secret it about, but I would rather tell a complete stranger my secret than hold it in. This weekend Sean's cousin Kaitlyn got engaged and I've known about it for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure I told everyone I could without spilling the beans to the soon-to-be bride (whom we see multiple times a week)! Sean and I are thrilled for Kaitlyn and Jacob -- God brought them together at just right time and they will be great partners for life. They have been good friends to us in Fayetteville and we are so excited for this new chapter of their lives!

Jacob asked us to hang a lot of mason jars from the big tree and line a path down to the arbor. The mason jars were hung with twine and filled with yellow flowers and babys breath.

We refer to this picture as 'the money shot.'

She was very surprised to see all of her family there! There was definitely some ugly crying going on, but it was super special to see her parents and siblings love on the couple!

I made these cupcake toppers to look like their initials carved into a tree.

I also made this burlap banner. I just cut the triangles out, hot glues them to twine, then painted the letters on. The hearts are made out of moss sheeting, leftover from my monogram door wreath.

Here's her ring! He did a great job picking it out -- it looks perfect on her dainty fingers!

 Let the wedding planning begin!
