Happy Thanksgiving
Nov 27th
We had an early lunch with the Mississippi family and then with the help of my brother Hall we drove to Jackson in two cars to pick up Jaeyoun’s family. We checked them in to their hotel and then brought them back to my parent’s house for their first American Thanksgiving Dinner(Well, truthfully leftovers!) They loved the turkey and dressing! We exchanged some gifts and my brother-in-law surprised me with a case of Soju! JJ’s mother made purses for my mother and grandmother. My mother got JJ’s mom a Mississippi Snowball, a pearl cluster.I took a ton a pics!~ Tomorrow is the rehearsal dinner and another day of errand running!
Thanksgiving, a Wedding, and Random Paris
Nov 26th
So, our wedding is Saturday night. We have spent the last four days running all over Hattiesburg. Tonight, we met with our photographer David, who is awesome by the way. He made us both feel very comfortable and at peace with our decision to use him for our wedding. We spent most of the day trying to find clothes to wear for the rehearsal dinner and at the last minute I realized that I had no dress shoes and Jaeyoun needed a cardigan, so we had to go back to the mall! We will get up in the morning and help my mother cook, have Thanksgiving dinner and then drive to the Jackson airport to pick up Jaeyoun’s mother, father, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew. We will then come back to our house for dessert and coffee. Jaeyoun and I will also open some of our wedding presents when everyone is together. We have been averaging about 1-2 a day and have a bunch to open~!!~
I also am working on a speech that I am going to give at the rehersal dinner. I want to do it in both Korean and English, so I am having Jaeyoun proof my Korean. It would probably be more authentic if I just tried to wing it, but I really want them to be able to understand me.
We still have not figured out what we are going to do with her parents on Friday. We really don’t have enough time to go anywhere and there is really not much for them to see here in Hattiesburg.
I still have tons of Paris photos to process and upload. Here are few of my favorites from our day at the Muse de Orsay.
More Random Paris Photos Day 2&3
Nov 23rd
We had a blast these days as you can see from the photos. I still have a ton of images to process. These were a few of my favorites.
Shower Day
Nov 23rd
I was kicked out of the house on Saturday around 9:30am after being sent on a million errands. I had to pick up 50lbs of shrimp to be used at our rehearsal dinner. I then just drove around trying to figure out what to do next, since my house was off-limits. I ended up getting a call from my brother Brent and went over and watched some football with him. We hung out till the shower was over and then went back home to eat left-over shower food and rest.
We watched football all day(Did you see the end of the Ole Miss/LSU game?) and then went out and saw some friends. We moved from there to Shuckers where we listened to The Foulon Brothers play a couple sets. This was my first time to hit Shuckers in Hattiesburg. The atmosphere was great. It is a very small bar and you get the feeling that everyone knows one another. In fact, I even recognized most of the people that worked there. The Foulon brothers put on a great show and are a great cover band. We also had some oysters on the half-shell! I was the DD, so I got to watch mom, JJ, and Brent shoot tequila and probably drink a little too much beer. We came back home around 12 and stayed up talking and catching up.
The was the only photo I was allowed to post from her gifts!~(Thank you everyone!!!)
