Founders Favs - Angel & Becky Can you believe how fast we are approaching summer? It’s as if we blinked and half the year was gone! But I’m sure that you would agree that there is no better place to be during this gorgeous season than right here.

In this issue, you will get to see all that amazing Tennessee beauty in our Home & Garden section. Dr. Scott & Mrs. Jean Ellen Baker opened their home to Wilson Living Magazine for our wedding shoot. Their home place, located in the heart of Lebanon, is a hidden away retreat. The exquisite house and the surrounding gardens are breathtaking! And, soon enough, many of you will see it in person as the Bakers are the hosts of Cumberland University’s Patrons’ Party. Be sure to get your sneak peek in this issue!

While we are on the subject of breathtaking, be sure to check out our much anticipated Wedding section. To make sure readers get to see all of the hottest fashions, we decided to outfit two brides for this issue. Wilson County native, Erin Chambers, along with Miss Tennessee 2013 Brenna Mader spent the day knee deep in tulle and lace just to showcase the top bridal couture for readers. Many of you may also know the bridesmaids as well. Madison, Jolin and Maggie have been friends since they were two. They have grown up into stunning (and very-well mannered!) teen-agers and had a ball being our models this issue. A big THANK YOU as always to our WLM Styles & Trends Editor Erin Brown who pulled together all the latest information, styles and trends for the upcoming wedding season.

And guess who is also in this issue? You will never guess! Ok, so we’ll just tell you. President Obama, himself!! Lebanon native Matt Gallant recently had the opportunity to meet him and gave WLM an exclusive interview about the experience.

How fun is that!

Of course, that is just the start, we are filled to the brim with great pieces this issue about many of your neighbors both from Wilson County and Around The Bend. Be sure to check out Ken Beck’s latest piece on one such interesting neighbor who makes Lafayette home. So on this beautiful day, find a comfy chair outside and enjoy all that this area offers within the pages of WLM.

Until next time, keep reading!Until next time, keep reading!
