This past Saturday, Nov. 21st, I had the honor of being a part of the wedding of Anderson Winstead and John Gardner at the gorgeous St. Mary's Chapel in Raleigh, NC. Anderson is a fellow Broughton High School Alumni and it was so wonderful to see her and John so happy and in love and surrounded by great friends and family. The fabulous Kate Monroe served as my assistant for the day and did a great job, as always! Below are some highlights from Saturday's festivities!
