The New Mr. and Mrs. Piner

10/10/10 marks the beginning of a new family...Mr. and Mrs. Brandon Piner. My little brother is now a husband! :)

Brandon and Lauren became husband and wife on a beautiful warm fall day on the banks of Lake Norman in Lauren's parents' back yard.

Below are just a sample of the pictures that the photographer took that day.

Bachelor/ette Festivities

On October 1st and 2nd, we celebrated Brandon and Lauren's final weekend as a bachelor & bachelorette. Jeremy went to Banner Elk with a bunch of BP's guys friends for a night in the mountains. No pictures were taken that I know of so we'll just have to guess what they did. :)

After Jeremy returned, I tagged out and went to Lauren's celebration. We started the afternoon by doing one of Lauren's favorite things...painting pottery. She was our resident expert and helped us novices figure out what to do.

Thanks to my help, she decided to paint a plate with their names on it and their wedding date. Becky decided to do something similar. I was thankful that Becky was as indecisive as I was. :)
Matron of honor Jess painted a mosaic mug.

After painting, we went over to Jess' house for dinner and a lingerie shower. Those pictures will not be revealed to the public. :)

We had a great time and my lovely little sign is now hanging on our front door. Wedding pictures are to come soon!
