My Little Flower Girl!

Stuart and Celina finally got married!  Stuart is Nona Lisa's son (Doug's Stepbrother) and he and Celina have been dating for years!  They are both really sweet people so Marlie (and us too) was so excited when they asked if she could be the flower girl in their wedding! 

Marlie loved everything about being a flower girl.  Getting dressed was fun.  She wanted curly hair and some make-up (minus the not-so-fun mascara we have to wear for dance).  And getting to see the bride before most everyone else was pretty neat too! Celina looked beautiful and only seemed a tad nervous!

She was also excited to meet all the bridesmaid and immediately fell in love with Ms. Stacy, the maid of honor that she got to sit next to during the wedding.  Ms. Stacy helped her and chatted with her and Marlie adored her!

Marlie loved the flowers that she carried and was so careful with them at the ceremony.  When she finally sat down she continued to hold them high (not on her dress) so Ms. Stacy helped her hold them since they were so heavy. 

The church they got married in was beautiful!  We snapped a few photos after the ceremony.  For some reason Marlie is squinting in almost every picture I have of this day! So these were the best I could come up with...

Here is Marlie with the Ring Bearer, Primo.  He was 3 and too cute.  He was told to stay with Marlie so he would not leave her side and she thought that was crazy.  In rehearsal, they were walking up the aisle and he literally stared right into her eyes the whole way.  It was adorable!

Oh I love this family!

The reception was just as lovely as the wedding.  All the cousins were there and the kids had a blast.  Marlie and Tim got the party started and tore up the dance floor all night.  Matt and Aunt Dawn loved the photo booth and both of them must have come home with 30 pictures!

What a fun day! Stuart & Celina, congratulations!  The day was amazing and we are so thankful we got to share it with you.  We'll be excited when you move to Houston so we can see you more!  May God Bless your marriage!
