Meet the Bridesmaids

Just a little glimpse into the life of the ladies who will be standing by my side.  A lot of it is funny because if I get sappy I will cry, and I want it to be fun!  

Matron of Honor - Susan Groce

(Yep, she will kill me for this, but I was tired of looking through all of her FB photos to get one of just her.)

This is my sister and my matron of honor.  She is older than me, but I can still take her if needed.  She burnt me on the forehead with a curling iron when we were younger, but I won't tell you what I used to do to her.  She works hard and loves her two boys, Braxton and Thatcher, very much.  Growing up we were complete opposites, and in many ways we still are, but I see myself being like her more everyday, which means being like my dad more everyday.  She has a heart for the ministry and loves her work!  We dance in stores and don't care who is watching.  I can't imagine my life without her and I am so thankful she is my sister and will be standing beside me on my special day!


Bridesmaid - Ashley Holman

(At the Color Run)

This is one of the best friends a girl could ask for.  We met my freshman year of college and she lived in the room across the hall.  She was a sophomore, but we pledged the same sorority and have been friends ever since.  She is an amazing photographer and just has the eye to get a great shot!  Look up Ashley Holman Photography on FB.  She is momma to sweet Lyla and a great cook as well!  We were roommates when I bought my house and I know I wasn't easy to get along with.  She had a flip phone up until a few months ago and tried to dump it at a restaurant, but the waitress came to its rescue!  I am cat sitting her cat until the cat dies.  If that ain't friendship, I don't know what is - HAHA!   She lets me call her up and cry when I need to, or just vent.  She has amazing strength as a person and I am honored to have her in my wedding!


Bridesmaid - Morgan Williams

(A picture I stole off of FB)

Morgan is like a younger sister to me.  We have known each other for a long time through church and even though we have a good age difference, I can call her up and just chat about whatever and she can call me up as well and talk about anything.  She is very mature for her age and helped me with Vacation Bible School and then I helped her.  She is funny and has a heart of gold!  She is a student at UT Martin and an ADPi.  We don't hold it against her that there wasn't a KD chapter at Martin.  I'm kidding.  She was an intern for my sister at the church and that is where we became friends.  I don't have any stories on her yet, but I know I will.  She is a country girl at heart and loves her parents more than anything!  She also gets to call my momma Ma Carole, and watched after her when they were in Japan.  I think they were both ready for American Japanese food when they got home.  And I am jealous of her 4Runner.  It is newer than mine.  I am probably not a good example of what a "big sister" (not in the sorority) is supposed to be, but I am so thankful she is in my wedding! 

We Have Registered!!

Lou and I registered this past weekend and we had a lot of fun!!  
I was surprised that Lou enjoyed himself, but I knew once we hit the cooking and kitchen items he would be in heaven!  I had to beg for the scanner gun!  

Most of our registry is at Target, but we have also registered for dishes and a few other things at Dillard's.  Both of us have a specialty shop to register at, and I picked Polka Dots and Happy Thoughts in Nolensville, and Lou picked Cumberland Transit in Nashville.
