Remembering Little Lija's Wedding!

My dear friend Lija married a wonderful man named Matt last December. Over the weekend, I spontaneously sent her a text message (a dangerous activity, when you're standing wet in the shower), thanking her again for having me as one of her 7 bridesmaids.




Today in my inbox, she surprised me with never-before-seen pics from that marvelous day. I loved every second of that magical day and night!

She gave me the honor of reading a beautiful verse from Scripture as well as a short poem written by St. Teresa of Avila, one of my favorite girls!



My escort that day was her wonderful brother Chip. I was so afraid that I'd fall (wearing those 4.5-inch heels!) that I remember asking him to make sure he held onto me tightly as we went down that aisle! (He did a good job!)



All the bridesmaids were fantastic girls to be around, and in the top photo, I'm with Jackie and Lexi.

What a nice little trip down Memory Lane. :-)
