Nashville Wedding Weekend

05/18/24 | family, Nashville, wedding

This past weekend my cousin got married in Nashville and it was a treat.  I had been to Nashville once before, in 2014, for my cousin Shannon’s wedding.  This time it was for her younger sister Meredith’s wedding.  After an absolutely horrific journey from NYC (including a tornado, flight that ran out of fuel, and an unplanned trip to Memphis) we were all wrecked by the time we arrived but as my sister-in-law pointed out, we did not miss any of the wedding activities!  The photos below are in order, from Thursday afternoon to Sunday mornig:
