My friend’s wedding this past weekend in Charlotte was an absolute BLAST! I knew it would be, and I knew my role as personal attendant would be easy. She kept thanking me for all I did, but it honestly felt like nothing! Everything I would have done for one of my best friends to make sure her day was extra special!
Our day started at 7 a.m. Saturday morning with all the girls getting their hair done. From there, it was the usual wedding chaos… running around, getting everything and everyone to the church, along with lots of photos beforehand. The wedding was beautiful and the reception at the Mint Museum in Uptown was just as stunning. My friend’s vision came together perfectly!
I wore a black lace Karen Kane dress, which is unfortunately sold out, and I say unfortunately because I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone else who is going to be a personal attendant and/or looking for something sophisticated to wear to a wedding. It fit nicely and was stretchy so I had plenty of room to move around and get my dance on! Here and here are very similar styles by Karen Kane. It was one of the most comfy dresses I have ever worn to a wedding! Anyway, onto more photos:
The wedding party “selfie”… we thought it turned out pretty good haha!

![[AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers.
