The (2) most Beautiful girls in the world

First, I want to tell you some sad news- my camera broke on the way from getting Avery's hair fixed back to the hotel before the wedding. Anna's bottle leaked into my camera and every picture I took has a big blur from where the junk is inside...Sad, isn't it? and for those of you counting- this will camera #3 for us in the last 18 months. but that's another story. for now i will share the only picture I have of Mandy in her dress that turned out and for any of you who have others, please send them my way, Please! The other picture is one of our Kappa girls dinner group...and that is what most of the pics i took look like ;-( So anyway most of you know that Mandy is one of my favorite people on earth. She makes me laugh- often- and she is truly one of the most loyal friends EVER. She also was truly one of the most gorgeous brides i have ever seen- which could be due to the smile that never left her face. She was calm, she was fun and she was most importantly happy!
The other most important girl in the world is the precious little flower girl! I was a proud mama- despite no naps, lots of travel, and unfamiliar territory she had a smile on her face. I will post wedding pics first because they are the purpose of this post...but if you stick with it long enough there are other pics to follow...

Avery talking with Max, the ring bearer and nephew of the groom, and it would appear she is bossing a bit. Surprised, anyone?

Getting a good pep talk from daddy It's SHOWTIME!
Ahh..and after show time we realized that we forgot to actually throw the petals. So after a few tears we convinced her it was okay to throw petals AFTER the wedding, which she did!




Okay so that's what I've got from the wedding- It was MUCH fun not to mention totally beautiful! Besides the picture perfect wedding, the weekend was fun-filled and super busy! Here are a few other pics

Avery, bossy? NO! I am suddenly remembering playing "school" with her mother - and having to ALWAYS be the student ;-)
