Hi, friends! I posted a few pictures on my Facebook and Instagram page, but in case you missed those, Mark and I got married last weekend at Forsyth Park in Savannah and it was the sweetest ceremony. Simple and easy, just the way we wanted it. I took a few pics with my phone and we did have a photographer there taking lots of pics which I should get back in a week or so and I will definitely share many of those when I get them back. In the meantime, enjoy these few shots of us and me in my wedding dress. I’ll share all about the wedding venue and all the details about our big day later, but in the meantime enjoy these few pics!
When I saw this dress on Nordstrom, I just knew it was the right dress for me to wear on my special day. I pictured us wearing summer attire, looking quite stylish in lace and linen in the sultry city of Savannah. Mark bought this gorgeous linen jacket and pants last year and it’s been fun for him to have them for summer events. I knew his linen would be perfect for our wedding day. All the neutrals!

With the heat and humidity of summer, I should have known better and just gone curly with my hair, but I didn’t listen to myself. I got it all straight with my flat iron and sprayed it down with hair spray, but even that can’t compete with summer in Savannah and the intense humidity that happens just going outside. We started on the porch of our bed and breakfast that we stayed in and by the time I got to the park, it was starting to flip and flop. But oh well, it was a wonderful day!
It misted rain that morning and we were very worried that it really might downpour for our 10:30 wedding time, but luckily it stopped and was only cloudy which was better for picture taking anyway.
After the ceremony we posed for a few pics and took a lot with the photographer, which I can’t wait to see!
A single shot of me in my dress, I just loved the dress and felt very pretty in it. I got a size smaller than I normally do and had to reorder to get the right one, so the dress definitely runs big.
Y’all will chuckle at this…I wore shoes from Goodwill. I found these last summer and thought they were really cute, looked practically brand new and when I got the dress, I knew these shoes would be perfect with it.
The rings! I know you all want details, so I’m trying to give them to you! It was such a special and sweet day for us and I’m so happy to share it all with y’all. You’ve been so supportive and caring to me and my family over the years and I’m thrilled with this next chapter in life. It’s been quite the journey to get here and I feel so blessed!
Again, I’ll be back with LOTS more pics of the wedding and where we stayed and all of that, so stay tuned for more. Savannah is a beautiful backdrop for a wedding and I’m so glad we chose this picturesque city for our special wedding day, July 29, 2017!
You looked beautiful and Mark very handsome but most of all you both look so HAPPY! I am so very happy FOR you too! Your ring is gorgeous as well. Happy day!!!

You both look wonderfully happy. Congratulations and best wishes. You now have both found the love of your lives. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Congratulations!!! Just beautiful. Much happiness!
Great pictures! God’s blessings on both of you and on your marriage. On an unrelated topic, thank you for your post several months ago on buying your car. I had saved a link to it for future reference, and “future” turned out to be sooner that I had thought when the AC went out on my 9 year old car. Instead of spending money on a new compressor, I followed your advice on getting quotes by email with out the door pricing and ended up buying a car yesterday with a very good price. It was a much less painful process than previous car buying experiences. Thanks again!
Yay, Gayle, I’m so glad to hear it worked for you too. Makes you feel good to get a decent deal without all that hassle.
Wonderful pictures! It’s so you even down to your shoes! You’re the real thing Rhoda and that’s what we love about you! Just keeping it real all the time! I can see y’all going to Savannah every year for your anniversary! Happy Wedding Day! Or a cruise every year! ?
Awesome pics, Rhoda! You two make a great-looking couple & love your enjoyed Savannah as much as I did. We went on vacation there in 2008 & I didn’t want to leave after a week -LOL! Your dress was beautiful on you and congrats to you both. Btw, your Mark looked Savannah handsome!
You look absolutely beautiful in that dress and Mark is so dapper!! Better than that, the look of happiness is oozing from ypu both!!
Bless you both.
Beautiful, congratulations : ) Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. Savannah is a beautiful place. Been there just once and look forward to visiting there again : 0
