What a wonderful little weekend we just had!
Todd and I joined some old friends in Oxford, Mississippi for a wedding celebration. I say ‘celebration’ because Erin & Sean (the newlyweddies) had a small, family-only wedding ceremony and then threw a giant party this past Saturday for all of their friends. People came from all over the country to party hard in the name of love.
Let the road trip begin…
I swear we are more excited than we look.
Going over the old bridge into Memphis. It was so weird going through my hometown & not stopping.
Arriving in Oxford. We stayed a hotel right off the downtown square.
A sign with “Sarah McG” next to our hotel!
Friday evening Erin had a group of girls over to her house in Water Valley, Mississippi for a pre-party dinner.
I finally met one of her friends, Lauren, who apparently is my long lost twin…
Brandy + Kerri
The bride
Erin had a fun little game planned for her party favors. We did a ‘dirty santa’ style gift swap, with southern themed food from the local Piggly Wiggly. This was especially hilarious since a lot of the girls were from L.A. (aka – not the south).
Peanut butter moon pies.
Chocolate syrup inside of a bear with a bow tie!
Hoppin’ Johns beans.
Crawfish chips. They were really good, actually (and contained no crawfish whatsoever).
Bacon crackers.
Pork & Beans + ham flavored lima beans.
Bis-Kits!
Soul Food Seasoning
Fat Back
Of course while I was at Erin’s home I couldn’t help but drool over her house & it’s vintage decor.
On Saturday we enjoyed a lazy day around Oxford before the party that evening. We explored the Ole Miss campus, had some beers, and had lunch with my old roommate, Necha, and her new baby, Lucia.
The food here is sooo good.

Congrats again to Erin + Sean!
Can we do it again?
