On August 2, 2013, Tyler and I made the trek to Boone to "bury the bourbon" on our wedding site. As tradition follows, we went to Boone on a beautiful day, about a month before our wedding day to bury a full bottle of bourbon, upside down, on our wedding site.

This was one of those special moments that I'm so glad we took time out of our busy schedule to do - We took off a Friday afternoon and spent it enjoying one of our last weekends as fiancés before we became husband and wife.

Now on to the important part... Did it rain on our wedding day?
The answer is yes and no! Apparently it rained all day as people traveled up the mountain and a few drops as our guests waited for the ceremony to start but there wasn't a drop of rain during the ceremony or reception! I'd say that makes this southern tradition a success in my book!
There are a few variations to this tradition and we picked the version that worked best for us and our schedule. (Not to mention, it was raining cats and dogs in Boone exactly one month before our wedding - couldn't risk that!)
