Meet Nick and Lanie. Classically beautiful, warm, friendly; these adjectives could describe both the bride and groom and their wedding. The venue was the elegant Carl House in Auburn, GA, built in 1908 and full of dark gleaming wood, crystal, a double staircase, and a 15ft high fireplace. Can you imagine? It was a painter’s dream. I set …

When I went to college, I roomed with my best friend Casey. Casey decided to join a sorority, which I was not super happy about, because I was afraid that she would make glamorous new friends and ride off into a flower-scented sunset of date nights and monogrammed linens.
