On July 3rd we celebrated Emily & Chris's wedding day! It was such a fun day from start to finish! The girls and I seriously had so much fun being a part of their big day, and everything was absolutely beautiful! Congratulations, Emi & Chris! We love you!

Emily was the most gorgeous bride!

Shelby was a picture-perfect flower girl!

Dropping her last petals and getting ready to race up to me

Running up to shouting "I did it, Mama!"

This is right after she walked down the aisle & turned around to look at everyone & said: "Woah, that's a lotta people Mama!" ;)

This is how Hadley spent the ceremony...in her stroller in the back of the chapel with my Aunt Diane.
Being in a wedding with two small children without your spouse there to help is no small feat (not to mention two small children who recently moved & were already out of sorts before this big trip!), it truly took a village! I'm so thankful for all of the help for the girls I received from my family..we couldn't have done it otherwise!

My mom's side of the family (Harelson), which are now the Schumachers, Williams, Jacksons, Heaths, Smiths, & Gardners ;)

The Gardner Family

The Wedding Party :)

The flower girl coudln't be too far from her bride & groom at any point in time. Immediately after they announced the new Mr. & Mrs. Gardner at the reception & the newlyweds made their grand entrance now the staircase, guess who bolted across the reception hall to greet them at the bottom of the stairs? ;)

I absolutely ADORE this picture of Shelby looking up at Emi & Chris while I gave my toast at the reception.

This was also taken during my toast. Please note where my two children: Shelby is glued to the bride & groom's (what she still often refers to Emi & Chris as over 3 months after the wedding!) side & Hadley is hanging out in the middle of the dance floor. ;)

Love the tippy toes :)

The first couple of days in GA were ROUGH for Hadley. She was still out of sorts from the move to San Antonio, and then the trip to GA just threw her off even more. She was completely attached to me, but thankfully she started warming up to new faces by the time the wedding day rolled around! She spent a lot of time in Aunt Karen's arms at the reception :)

Emi, Mom, & me with Chris & Melissa, our old neighbors from Memphis. Shelby had the BEST time playing with Melissa's little girl Julia and still talks about her. It's such a rare blessing in life to find lifelong friends in neighbors!

I love Shelby's face in the background..I think she was dancing with Chris :)

Hadley spent a lot of time on the dance floor :)

Loved their exit to sparklers!
