Wonderful Wedding

Believe it or not, I did not take a single picture of Ashley's wedding. However, you go to to the photographer's website to see TONS of pictures. (Just click here.)

While I don't have any photos, I do have a few noteworthy events in my memory:

  • The pianist began playing The Bridal March (Here comes the bride...) before the bridesmaids walked down. So, all the guests stood up, then had to sit down, wait for the bridesmaids to come down, THEN stand when it was actually time for the bride walk down the aisle.
  • The flower girl (best one ever, I'm sure...since it was Tilly) and the ring bearer made it down the aisle tear free. My wonderful cousin Ericka pulled them down in a wagon, and they both were adorable! (They're both about 17 months old!)
  • OH MY GOODNESS!!!! THE GROOM'S CAKE!!!!!
  • I cried and wiped my nose with my Kleenex, then I notice my sister (the bride) crying, so I passed her my used kleenex...What are sisters for, right?
  • My dad singing "Love is Not a Fight"
  • During picture time before the wedding, Tilly said "go night-night?" so we laid her down in the nursery and she slept for an hour and a half and woke up just in time to go down the aisle. PERFECT!!!!!! :)
  • EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY SISTERS PLUS THE MAID OF HONOR AND MYSELF BEING SICK DURING THE WEDDING OR THE NEXT DAY! (The flower girl is sick too.)
  • My sister Amanda caught the bouquet & her boyfriend Matt caught the garter (sp?). I don't know if that's good news or bad news considering my parents will have to pay for that wedding too...
  • And perhaps the strangest thing....the bride and groom wanting to meet our entire family (all 16 of us!) for breakfast the next morning before their flight to Mexico. (Not awkward at all, right??)
  • Did I mention the wonderful flower girl?

It was all fantastic! Beautiful bride, beautiful wedding, beautiful day, and here's to a beautiful marriage!
