beautiful girls

well these two beautiful faces.....

(out shopping a few days before the wedding)

......were glowing even brighter this past weekend at Kyle and Courtney's elegant wedding. Samantha loved every minute of her flower girl role and to say Courtney looked beautiful...well i'd say it a million more times.

everything about their wedding weekend was special and we were thrilled to be there to help celebrate. courtney and kyle.....we wish you nothing but a life full of love and laughter and beautiful memories together!

about to practice at the rehearsal, opening her flower girl gift from the bride

and the wedding day is here....samantha was a pro. she went early with her mimi to be apart of the bridal party pictures and loved hanging with the big girls and wearing her princess dress. she wore her flower wreath carefully and even had her hair curled "like goldilocks"

when we arrived before the wedding she was so "into" it and ready for the wedding to begin. (it was a strange feeling you know...when i wasn't really needed, she was independent and confident and fine without us. i felt strange but also very very proud. sigh)


this was the picture sent to my phone before I got there....something about her face...its hard for me to see her this grown up and beautiful...like i get a flash forward or something of her even older.

thank you to brittany for taking such good care of her!

after being introduced into the reception...she walked all by herself through the room to the dance floor

samantha's favorite picture...she looks at it on my phone all of the time and says, look thats me with courtney! after dinner and a little playtime at the table she then danced the entire rest of the evening. no stops, no sitting, no being wild. just holding hands and barely moving back and forth but beaming to be on the dance floor.

this picture....talk about being emotional...

we stayed almost until the end when samantha quietly whispered in her tiny voice....can we go home and get geez.

congratulations mr. and mrs. abraham. your beautiful life together is just beginning....wohoo!
