A Photographer, A Matron of Honor & A Flower Girl

My sister got married a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful celebration & lots of fun. Joel was the photographer, I was the (very pregnant) matron of honor, and Emily was one of the flower girls. This was the best family shot we got of the 3 of us that day. Emily LOVED being a flower girl. She got her hair curled at a salon, got to wear a little make-up, wore a very girly dress & got to carry a beautiful flower arrangement. Joel did a great job capturing the day and I love all the pictures. I'd post some here but will wait until the bride & groom have had a chance to see them (as I type they are on their way back from a honeymoon in the Greek islands). I enjoyed getting to be matron of honor & tried to not cry too much as my little sister came down the aisle looking absolutely beautiful. Seriously - she looked like she'd walked off the cover of a bridal magazine - totally gorgeous. It was fun to watch she & my new brother-in-law at the reception too. They both looked so very happy & make such a great couple. I can't believe that I'm about to have my 3rd kiddo & my sister is now a married woman. Time flies so fast these days, but I'm thankful for each fleeting year. I've been so blessed with such a fabulous husband, wonderful kiddos, a loving family & group of friends that feel that way.

I love the family picture. You look beautiful. Emily's smile tells me she had fun being a flower girl.
