In The Bride's Room

The Diamond Collection.....
Her dream wedding gown.....





And a beautiful veil.....




On the day of the wedding, the bride's room is such a magical place.....
Everyone is filled with such excitment and happiness.....
And oh such beauty!
That enchanting glow of bliss.....and love.....




Time to tie the knot.....and lace up the beautiful gown.




Pretty little Gracie.....
Pretty little Princess.....








"I'm going back downstairs to be with the men"...said the handsome little Prince.
Girls are to prissy.....















































Good friends for life.....
From childhood until forever.....














Sisters and best friends.....
until forever.....











































The big day is here.....
She is ready and oh sooo beautiful.....
Butterfly Kisses.....

Blessings

Little Prince Dressed In White

Once upon a time in the land of the deep South.....
there was a handsome little Prince.
He was to be in his Auntie's wedding.....


And on the day of the wedding, it rained and it rained and it rained.....


And it rained some more. But, that is okay and all is well, because rain is a sign of abundance and many good things to come.....
It means the bride and groom have a blessed future.....
so it is and so shall it be.....


It's still raining.....
"Uh oh, Yaya", said the little boy..."that white thing with flowers just turned over! Look!".....




"I'm bored", thought the two year old little Prince.....






"Maybe I'll go exploring while waiting on my Auntie's wedding to start".....
"What's in that box?".....






"I wonder if anyone will miss me while I explore downstairs?"







"Uh oh.....I wasn't going down stairs.....Really".....

















"I'll slip away just a little at a time. They'll never miss me".....






















"They haven't missed me yet!"









































"I'm going to take a nap. Someone just call me when the wedding starts".....
















And so the story goes that it continued to rain and rain and rain.....
But, there was a beautiful wedding....
and wonderful music.....
and dancing.....
and good food and wine was enjoyed by all.....
And before the night was over,
the little Prince saw Cinderella and a fine horse and carriage.....

Oh What A Handsome Lad

This is our little Prince all dressed up for his Auntie Jodie's wedding. Now, being that I am Yaya to the prince, I can say (bragging rights) that he is the most handsome little prince in the South!
And here he is again, standing against the red dining room wall at his house......

Why, he looks like a Ralph Lauren Polo model.....












Okay, it's time to get moving.....
We've got a wedding to do.....
Let's load up and drive a few blocks to Oakleigh Place.....
See you there.

Two margaritas.....
One for each hand.....

An alligator!!!





"Uh Oh! Did I forget my credit card"?!?!
"What did you say"?...she said.
ROFL!
Sorry Dusty! (big grin smilie)
I just love adding 'fitting' words with my pictures.

Thank you to the perfect groom and his family for a wonderful dinner!
The big day is almost here!!!

A Time To Play

Come with me, Mommy.....There is a big lion over there!


My Turn!
No! My turn!!



Our very handsome, and soon-to-be, son-in-law.....Ohhhh, how sweet! Isn't he perfect?!



"Did someone call me? I wonder if they are looking for me"......
Thoughts from the mind of an adorable two year old.....



HEY! Over here!!! I'm riding the lion!




"Rover wants a bowtie, too", said the little boy.
"He can't"!?! "Why"?





I'm tired of rehearsing! I already know what to do......
Let's go EAT!


And so it is that there shall be a wedding.....
Come rain, come shine.....
And the "Stars Fell On Alabama" one more time.....

Blessings.....
