The Day a Princess Got Married

Whoa.... how does time fly like this? I know with my own kids time goes by way too fast and with my nieces and nephews time seems somehow to whiz by at an even faster pace! This is Jessica - she is the little sister that I didn't have. She was born at the end of my sixth grade year and I've loved her ever since. She got married back in May and I of course am finally getting settled enough from summer to catch up. At any rate, we are all so proud of her and the woman she's become. The dress by the way...is the one she loved from the start - it had to be altered to be right -  but right it was because just look at it!! She looked so lovely.

I felt so lucky to be able to see her in the temple before she came out to greet her adoring crowd...

Lots of family, especially all these cute cousins there to support the newlyweds! It was a great day. As previously posted, my grandma was able to attend before she passed away adding to the store of  memories for each of us to hold dear. Also in attendance was our great-Aunt Gaye, my Grandma Livingston's sister. I always love seeing her especially because she resembles my late grandma so much. On the Sign in table there was a picture of Jessica now and a picture of her when she was 8 or 9 after she caught the bouquet at my wedding! So cute.

Beautiful day, Beautiful shoes!! :)

We're so happy for these two! Mark, her new husbsand is amazing and we couldn't have hoped for anyone better. We know he'll take great care with our sweet girl! Speaking of royalty I feel like I need to add that I too am so grateful for my sweet hubby. He makes me feel like the queen of our house and I'm so thankful to have someone as amazing and loving as he is.
