hotel?

are you looking for a place to stay for the wedding?!?!?!

well here is your answer :)

The Hampton Inn in Corolla we have found is the closest and most convenient to the wedding venue. although we do not have a block of rooms saved we have made an arrangement with the hotel to get you a discounted rate for atleast two nights (they have a minimum visit of 2 nights). When you call (252) 453.6565 to book your reservation mention the McCarty-Hemphill wedding and they'll know what to do :)

are you thinking about making our wedding into a week vacation?!?!?!

I also have that answer :)

Carolina Designs Realty has been unbelievable throughout the process of booking our dream wedding! If you give them a call at (800) 368.3825 and mention that you'd like to be close to the home Absolute Ambiance, and they will provide you with a list of available homes for rent the week of our wedding!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact myself or zack <3

in shock

so here is the deal..... i'm in complete shock that there are only 80 days until our wedding. i'm excited, nervous and practically giddy over the fact! not to mention that in less than two weeks i will be celebrating my single days at my bachelorette party planned by the best maid of honor, my sister, taylor :) i couldn't be happier with her incredible planning skills and creative mind!!! oh and let's not forget the planning of my bridal shower which will be this month yayyyyy! so now on to some updates

in january mom and myself ventured down to the outerbanks to finish up all of the nitty gritty. we went through the house again (it's still perfect!), lined up all of our rental items and we got to meet with our fantastic caterer, Deb from Argyle's! We couldn't be more thrilled by all of our incredible vendors. Oh and not to forget the beautiful Ginger Harvey from GingerSnaps Photography introduced us to the most precious coffee shop for our finalizing meeting. we thank her for the newest addition to our home decor, a beautiful picture frame with one of our engagement shots already in it.

side note..... many of you know my dress is in and looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!

oh and another side note WE GOT A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! many pictures to follow :)
