My Best Friend's Wedding

Man. I cried so many times putting these photos together. 

This past week was surreal.
My big sister got married.

I arrived on Tuesday night and got to cuddle up with my mom and not fall asleep fall asleep giggling.
I got to wake up to fresh coffee and drink it with my mom and aunt Kathy.
I got to do errands all day, go to parties with my sister at night, and stay up late... REALLY late into the evening making programs, stringing bouqets together, piecing parts together. 

I got to stay at the beach in a house with my family, chatting in the living room, taking morning walks on the beach, and making breakfast together.
I got to hug my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother and dance the night away with my siblings.

I got to stand beside my big sister as she stepped into a forever vow.
I got to hold her bouquet as she took the hands of her now husband.
I got to sing her out of the ceremony with joy in my heart.
I got to cry, laugh, and dance with her on her wedding day. 
And I couldn't be more overjoyed.

... Creating...

... Celebrating...

...Relaxing...

... Rehearsing...

... Decorating...

... Partying...

...Dancing...

... Rejoicing over the marriage of these two...


Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs.

I love you.

TTFN,

    2. Dear Thriftary -You have always amazed me with your hard work, determination and creativity; however, you really pulled out all the stops this past week. I had no idea what a super human you really were until this past performance ... not only did you keep me in check through the entire engagement, but then, you roll into Charleston and (with complete grace)proceed to do EVERYTHING for me, including keeping me calm and smiling.. I don’t know how you did it, however, you did it and I couldn’t have done it without you. And thats the truth. I love you sister .. so much it hurts :) ... oh .. and the pictures you took are a treasure. Just like you

      Love, Mrs. Lindsay Kate Dammeyer :)
