My Baby Girl's Wedding



My baby girl got married this August – wow, time sure flies!!!! It seems like only yesterday that I was fretting over my age at being pregnant and was very conflicted about whether or not to have an amniocentesis. Just look at her now!!!!

It was a very busy weekend, but a beautiful outdoor wedding on a beautiful day.

Here is what I had to say at her wedding

“Jamie, I am so proud of you for many reasons.
I am proud of the love and loyalty you have for your family and friends.
I am proud of the way you have always treated those less fortunate with dignity and respect.
Proud of your ability and willingness to forgive.
Proud of your independence, your education, and the career choices you have made.
I am so proud to say that my daughter makes a difference in the lives of animals who have been abandoned or abused
I am proud that you have dreams and are willing to reach for the stars and follow them.
I am proud of YOU, the wonderful, beautiful woman you have become.

We are proud of the man you have chosen to marry.    Scott, I could tell you were special just by how much my daughter adored you and by how much you seemed to care about her and her feelings. You're going to be a great son-in-law. You have conquered Jamie’s heart, and mine, I am proud to call you my son-in-law. Not only do you love our daughter, but it is obvious that you truly adore her. What more could I ask for.

A little advice. Always say I love you when you say goodbye. Stay loyal and honest, and stand by each other’s side. If you do so, nothing can come between you.”

Please enjoy the slide show and by the way, Jamie’s older sister, Krista made the wedding cake and decorated it and she decorated the slab cake.
