This is what the entire Delta looks like at the end of the summer/beginning of fall!!
Beautiful




Mississippi Snow!




The Tallahatchie Flats
Old slave shacks that have been moved and renovated and turned into a hotel!!
This is actually where the boys in our wedding party stayed and we had a wedding shower/party there too!!



Groomsmen and their lovely ladies!


Band Set Up at our Shower!
How cute?




Particularly, I am from the home of Viking Range.




And the Alluvian Hotel



The Gals enjoying ourselves at the Alluvian after our rehearsal dinner.

Welcome to the Delta!!
 



















The Delta Bistro is where we had our rehearsal dinner!
