As everyone knows Courtney and I have been engaged for quite some time before commiting on a wedding date.  I am pretty much to blame for this.  As we were getting ready for a trip to visit my sister in Raleigh the idea of having it in Hendersonville became more appealing to me.  This is where I spent my informative years, my roots are here, and I wanted the people that I cared about the most to experience this special event in a place where they could learn more about me at the same time.  Another reason that over time has become pretty important to me for going back to Hendersonville is so my Mom could attend the wedding.  She may not remember it five minutes after it's over, but I will and that's a memory I would like to have.  I know that all of our guests will fall in love with the small town charm that is Hendersonville, just like Courtney has.

We picked Labor Day weekend because it is the same weekend as the Annual NC Apple festival.  Western North Carolina is known for their apples.  As a kid I loved walking the orchards picking apples and all the events around festival.  The festival kicks off on our wedding day, but you will have plenty of time to enjoy the festivities on Saturday.  I am hoping to arrange for a hayride and apple picking at one of the orchards for all the guests.  Can you say, "Fried Apple Pie?"  That's the good, good stuff as Dayle would say.

Hendersonville is about thirty minutes to the largest private home and working farm in America, The Biltmore House.  The Biltmore House is located in nearby Asheville.  Courtney and I went for a visit about five years ago, it was truly amazing.  You can take a guided tour through the house, wine tasting in the estate winery, or hike through the tranquil woods on the estate.  It is an beautiful piece of our American history and an amazing way to spend a day.

I will be posting a page with all the travel details and such shortly.  And I promise the save the date cards are going out this week!
