In 2013, We took the chance on love. Instantly becoming a blended family, then adding onto the love with two more. Our family has faced every challenge together. We have only grown stronger, wiser, and loved harder. Together over the last 13 years we've been blessed enough to raise our oldest into a wonderful young man who just turned 18 and will be graduating this year. Our daughter is a shining light who has great things ahead of her at only 15. And our youngest two boys are strong-willed, smart, and protective over their mama at only 6 and 8. We have gone through the good and the bad. As the bride, losing my parents, and papaw put off the 'want' to even have a wedding, leaving so many questions with no answers. "Who will walk me down the aisle? Who will I dance with? I don't have my mother." Etc... As the healing process went on, I realized time waits for no one, and if my parents can be gone in 1 day, then so can I or anyone else that I love. I can do what makes my heart happy on that day to fill the spaces where I can and appreciate the memory of love when I can also. Happiness and Sadness can coexist. Mark and I have built an amazing life together, and after focusing on the kids so much over the years, going through the grieving process, I think it's time for us to take a step back and celebrate us. Time to focus on happiness, love and prosperity! We are happy to be able to have this beautiful wedding, we hope that the ones who have been there to witness the growth, hard work, and struggle will also be there with us to celebrate our big day and the endless potential our future holds.
