Our Trip to Charlotte!

Last weekend, (yes, I was that big of a slacker this past week) Cameron and I took a little road trip to Charlotte to celebrate his friend, David, getting married! I was really excited when I found out David & Ashley's wedding was going to be in Charlotte for two reasons: I would get to see Alyssa & Chris and hellllllo - IKEA!

We got in to Charlotte around 5:30pm, showered up at Alyssa & Chris', and headed to the rehearsal dinner at Mahlon Adams Pavilion at Freedom Park.

The grooms cake - it pains me to put those filthy animals on my blog, but it was the only picture I took that night.

Saturday both Alyssa and Chris had to work unfortunately so Cameron and I were on our own to tackle Ikea. We literally drove by the road Ikea was on 3 or 4 times. That's what I get for not updating my Garmin. Although it was both mine and Cameron's first trip to Ikea and it was a little overwhelming, I had previously made a list of things I wanted to buy, so it made it a little easier to concentrate.

The #1 most important item on the list:

The Expedit bookcase!

I wanted it because of this picture..

Which I turned into my own version and will show yall soon!

Other items we picked up were wine glasses for the bar, curtains for the guest bedroom, a pitcher, picture frames, and a comforter. Successful trip!

After Ikea, we went to a shopping center near Alyssa & Chris' house that was like a smaller version of Towne Center in Mt. P. We grabbed lunch at Brixx pizza and split a caesar salad and the Rustica pizza (prosciutto, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives and roasted garlic). After lunch, Cameron wanted to buy some new shoes to wear to the wedding so we headed to Banana Republic. They were having a big 40% off sale so he got the shoes and two button up shirts and I found some work pants for $14! Woo!

Ok, on to the wedding..

The ceremony was beautiful and reminded me of the church Caroline and Andy got married in. We were one of the first guests to arrive to the reception but once I saw who the band was, I knew it was going to be a fun night. 

Sandy B and the Allstars!
