The Two became One.

I can't even begin to express how much fun I had this weekend with friends (and family!!). One of my oldest friends (she's not old... we just go way back..) got hitched, and I was so excited to be a part of the festivities!!!
We started off the weekend with dinner at Maria's Cantina! YUMMY food. Not so great entertainment... we felt like we were in Hicktown, USA. Maybe we were... :)
The Bride Ash, my sissy Aly, and basically another sissy Ash (they are all some of my "dearest" friends!)

The other side of the table!
AJ, me, Hayley

Then we headed back to the hotel to meet more bridesmaids for a fun time opening gifts!
Elish and Holly

This is quite possibly one of her reactions to a gift... priceless.

Ash and Hayley wearing the shower decor... Hayley and I put all the streamers up right before we went to dinner and came back to most of them on the floor... so they turned into streamer scarves!

Friday we enjoyed lunch and pedicures with the bride!!

That night we headed to the church for the rehearsal with a yummy dinner to follow...
Aly and Wade

Saturday morning Ashley's aunt hosted a brunch for the bridesmaids. Her house is GORGEOUS and the food was DIVINE. I felt extremely spoiled.
This is Ashley with all of her bridesmaids!

Rox, Ash, Ash, Aly, me... I love these girls! Ash & Ash have known each other since they were like 2 or 3, and my sisters and I moved to Mississippi 16 years ago and became immediate friends with the Ashleys! :) It was SO fun to be together again!

After brunch we headed to the church to get ready!! LOVED Ashley's colors: yellow and grey!
Kyle and I after the ceremony!

Ashley and Nate!

The reception was SO much fun! Ashley and Brad dancing their first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Alexander! Isn't she gorgeous???

Whitty, Rox, and Al having FUN! Whit is due with her second in December, too!

High school friends!! It was so great to see old friends!

My sissies. They are beautiful!

These are some of the girls from our CPC youth group!

I've said it already, but it was an amazing weekend!! It was a beautiful wedding, and Ashley was a beautiful bride! I'm so, so happy for Ashley and Brad! Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day!! Love y'all!!
