Where to begin, where to begin? This past weekend was my husband's cousins wedding. S0 four o'clock Saturday morning we loaded up and headed to Virginia. After a long eight hour trip we arrived in the sleepy (and BEAUTIFUL) little town of Abingdon. If I've ever seen a place that looked like it was taken straight out of a movie, this was it. We freshened up and went to the rehearsal and then the rehearsal dinner, and following that was a bonfire and hayride at Luke's aunt and uncle's.
The next morning we started getting Camille ready for her first role as "flower girl". It was hectic (as excpected) with everyone running around, curling hair, finding shoes, last minute alterations...and then, it was make or break time. I'm not going to lie, I was nervous. But as soon as Camille was dressed, her hair was done and Aunt Shan Shan added a little rouge...she was in her "princess state of mind" and a princess she was. From the moment she started down that aisle, meticulously placing each petal, until the end walking back down the aisle, my child was the perfect princess. From there we went to the reception where we danced the night away. I have to insert that Luke and I (and everyone else present) cried like babies when Jessica, the bride, and her father danced. It was probably the sweetest father/daughter dance I have ever seen. (Aside from the one Camille and Luke shared later in the evening) It was an absolutely beautiful wedding and I realized what a sweet family I married into.
We made the long trek back on Monday, thank the Lord for safe travels, and are packing yet again for our trip up to Memphis tomorrow. More to come on our trip to see tha family!!
