...Here they are! All of my girls represented (and yes, there are 8 of them!) I quickly went through and found a picture of me with each girl, on various occasions. Ahhhh, the memories that flood back in with each photo!

This week I thought it would be fun to introduce you to my bridesmaids. I never had sisters (I have two older brothers, cue the violins) but a lot of these girls I have grown up with. They are my family in their own right. Krista and Lindsay have been there since early childhood. Bridget, Paula and Ashley - I became friends with them in middle school. Tory and I met in high school. Theresa and I got to know each other in a class we had when we first started college. And Anissa and I became college roommates our last year of school. Kind of got all the eras represented, now that I think about it.

Asking people to be in your wedding is exciting. They were there with you when you were a kid. You played sports together. Celebrated birthdays together. They were there through high school and college graduations. They were even there when you started dating the love of your life. So why wouldn't they be standing there with you when you marry the love of your life?

Thank you, ladies, for being in my wedding. From the bottom of my heart. I am too lucky to have you as friends. Cheers to you!
