A beautiful thing

Amanda and Nick had an absolutely beautiful weekend for their absolutely beautiful wedding. We had such a nice time, and I'm so very happy for them.

Here is Amanda and her dad walking down the aisle:

The very handsome Nick waiting for his beautiful bride:

The scene below was the best part of the wedding, in my book... Amanda has an adorable five (?) year old daughter who Nick has loved as his own since they've been together. He is so good with her, and she adores him completely. After Nick and Amanda said their vows to each other and exchanged rings, Nick got down on his knee and read his vows to Alex, promising to be a good Daddy for her, and supporting her, etc..., and then he gave her a ring joining them all together as a family. There was not a dry eye in the place. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen, and Nick's dance with little Alex was a close second.The happy family after the ceremony:


Amanda does floral designs for weddings as her career, and the flowers at this wedding were UN believable. I left my camera in Lanie and Billy's room after the service, but I'm hoping Lanie will share her pictures with me, so I can post the flowers. They were almost as stunning as the bride. :)

I told Darcy today that whoever invites us to their wedding next is going to have some *pretty* big shoes to fill. LOL - the weekend was beautiful and wonderful, and the food was fantastic - everyone had a great time, and we wish this happy family the very best that their life and love will offer them.

Big XO.
