I love this! Makes me want to move back to the south…just a little bit. Love the concept and the name. I miss my “sweet tea’!

I found this through The Budget Savvy Bride and I adore it! I am a marriage coach and started my business with pre-marital counseling and I LOVE seeing such an influential blog take the time to remind us what the pretty stuff is all about :) Thank you!!!

Emily: This is soooo true for us that bleed blue…..all the weddings I attended during the SEC and NCAA Championship games had lounges with the KY Wildcats playing on the big screen. I kept thinking that maybe their first dances should have been to the UK fight song! Thankfully there was some bourbon or sweet tea being served up!

I love it, every little bit! Until I met my husband I never ever would’ve thought I’d pick our wedding date based on what team Alabama was playing that weekend and where (being a Tarheel born and bred and not caring for football at all before then), but we sure did! That weekend Alabama was playing Kentucky at Kentucky. Haha.

I’m all about every bit of this, and I’d love to have a glass of sweet tea on a porch with all y’all! :)

Such wise words!! Weddings are such a big thing it can be easy to lose perspective, but the long haul is definintely the more precious part of the marriage…

Glad to see you making a statement in the right direction. I think you are on the front edge of the next big trend. As a wedding photographer of 20+ years, I am a little sickened by the detail driven, fauxtography, styled shoot insanity created by wedding blogs and magazines. Enough already. Styled portraits and color palettes are NOT what weddings are all about. We have lost the people, their real emotions, and the meaning of it all under a pile of THINGS. I’m actually working on a book born out of this same frustration…..that we are all getting just a bit too carried away with the pretty pictures and forgetting the real meaning of marriage and connection.

I LOVE this! I totally had to pick my wedding date (and unfortunately wait until next spring) due to UT football season! But I could never be that girl I curse who puts a wedding on a game day. Love love love it!

Caroline: I would definitely say SEC (specifically, Kentucky Wildcat) basketball is more important to schedule around ;)

This couldn’t have been more perfectly timed for me! I’m single, but I have several friends who have invested lots of time and money into their weddings (and so have I), only to now be experiencing the rough patches that come with the first years of marriage. This is such an encouragement and a good reminder for when they confide in me. Thank you!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this! So beautifully written! I am not a bride, nor am I interested in being one, but I am still a frequent reader of this blog. I love that you cater to weddings in the south but its so much more than that – you embrace the charming culture and your content is enjoyable even for those of us who aren’t planning a wedding! Thank you! :)

THIS is why Southern Weddings is my favorite wedding magazine/wedding blog. OBSESSED with this!!! Thank you so much for for always going above and beyond the typical wedding blog, and reminding us what it’s really all about.

PS. Our wedding falls on the second weekend of the 2013 SEC football schedule. We will have a TV at the reception :)

Oh, ladies…how bad would it be if I went out and snatched up a husband just so I could join the Sweet Tea Society?! Maybe I’ll stick to being an honorary single supporter for now :) But honestly, I agree with the other comments – this is why I LOVE SW! Thanks for keeping things real and in proper perspective. Your work is so appreciated!

The reason why I so passionately love Southern Weddings, why I follow the blog, why I follow the editors, why I keep coming back for more…is because y’all are more! I’ve been married for almost 3 years now, I’m not planning my wedding anymore! Sure, I’m a wedding planner, but I have millions of resources to choose from. There are mountains of blogsites out there boasting the most beautiful details, the most gorgeous locations, etc. I think I can speak for a lot of your readers when I say, Southern Weddings is more than just a wedding blogsite. It’s about all the details in your manifesto. I’m just glad y’all figured out what we’ve known all along. ;) great job!

I ADORE this. I keep saying this to clients – the marriage, the promise and your relationship is SO much more important than the wedding – the chargers you choose, the lighting you pick, or the peonies you can’t have are INSIGNIFICANT in the light of a blessed marriage. I wan to be part of this NOW! :) xo
