Johnson and Johnson Wedding ~ Savannah Part 2

The beautiful bride, Heather

Dad and Daughter

My dad and our friend Gary.  Gary is Heather's Godfather and a fellow Oregonian.

We rode the trolley to the Church. It was SOOOO hot and SOOOO humid. (Great planning ahead on the hand fans). But it wouldn't be a true southern experience without the heat and the humidity.

Let the glistening begin! Pierce is my date for the wedding! I was his first ever babysitter. And now he's all grown up and in junior high!

Mr. and Mrs. Mike and Heather Johnson!

After the wedding we took the trolley to The Pink House for the reception.

I LOVED everything about the reception.  Especially the cake and the centerpieces.

The BEAUIFUL (and tasty) wedding cake.  Paula Dean had this same cake at her Savannah wedding.

So HAPPY for your Mrs. Heather Johnson!

And guess who caught the garter?

Thanks for such a fun night and congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson!

Savannah Georgia ~ Part One

After dropping my mom off at the Atlanta airport to fly cross country to be with Dana and newborn baby Elle, my dad I headed to Savannah, Georgia for the Johnson and Johnson wedding.  Our good friend Heather (Johnson) is marrying Mike Johnson in their favorite town, Savannah, Georgia.

I walked down to the lobby for breakfast and spotted the Savannah Morning Newspaper. The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's DREAM HOME sticker caught my eye. I love when St. Jude awareness is promoted across the nation.

My dad and I stayed at The Marshall House Guest Hose in Historic Savannah.  It served as a hospital for wounded soldiers back in the day AND is said to have a few friendly ghosts.

When we entered our room we were greeted by these adorable gift bags FULL of awesome goodies!

A guide book, moon pie, fan, coca-cola and some Savannah souvenirs ~ definitely all so Savannah!



My dad I set out on a walking tour to take in some of the historic sights. (In between rain storms).

I LOVED all of the architecture.

The Juliette Low house, the founder of Girl Scouts, took me back to my Girl Scouts Day. I was a Brownie and then Girl Scout in First - Fifth Grade and my leader, Mrs. Dull helped to create so many memories for our troop!

I'm loving this time in Savannah. I'm looking forward to doing some more exploring tomorrow before Heather and Mike's wedding tomorrow night.

Showering the future Mrs. Johnson

My family friend, Heather Johnson is having her dream wedding in Savannah, Georgia this June. She is marrying Mike Johnson. So her new name with be Heather (Johnson) Johnson! :O)

Her best friends, Beth and Shakira hosted a bridal shower for her in Seal Beach, California.

Walt's Wharf on Main Street had a wonderful luncheon for all of Heather's guests.

The cake was AMAZING (as were the monogrammed cookies).

Heather and I met almost 20 years ago when my family was living in Black Butte Ranch, Oregon. Her family bought a second home in Sisters and have become one of our closest family friends.

This is a photo of Beth and Heather from elementary school. As most girls do, they were already planning their dream wedding! Beth will be Heather's matron of honor.

Heather received some awesome presents! My mom made her an apron.

Congratulations, Heather! Can't wait for your big day this June!
