her first walk down the aisle

Ashlyn has been looking forward to her cousin, Jaymie's, wedding day since the day she got the sweet note in the mail asking her to be the flower girl. A frilly new dress, high heel shoes, shiny pearls, lacy socks and an adorable headband. It's every girl's wish list filled.
Rehearsal took place in Royse City and dinner followed at Primos.

The big day!


Ashlyn started asking about 12:30 when it would be time to go. Our plan was to leave at 4:30 so I gently told her I could not keep answering this for four hours. How long is four hours? 8 TV shows.

Preparations: Ms. Amanda added some ringlets to Ashlyn's curly hair. Aunt Dana added a tadbit of lipstick. She loved seeing herself all dolled up in the mirror.




Bridal attendants and their "getting ready" shirts:

For a brief moment, she was the star.

It was so precious to see Ashlyn come down the staircase with such grace and to drop the flower petals all the way down the aisle. She stood there throughout the whole wedding, listening intently. It was a beautiful ceremony and one that she will remember always. Seeing her walk down the aisle brought me such joy. It also reminded me of the importance of cherishing every moment, every age and every year as one day, she will be the bride.


Thank you Jaymie and Richard for letting Ashlyn be such a special part of your most special day!
