Amy,
What a big Mom moment for you!!!! You are absolutely doing the right thing, and Avery will have the time of her life. What a great experience…and what great parents she has for supporting her through it!!! YAY!
And as an aside, you always make everything look so amazingly fun and celebratory. Your party looks like something off the pages of a “How to Throw a Great Party in Summer” spread in a magazine.

Amy,
I have seen a lot of wedding pictures in the last couple of years as many of my friends and myself have walked down the aisle. I must tell you that these are by far the most outstanding, beautiful pictures I have ever seen. I told Amy that it also helped to have a drop dead gorgeous bride! You were such a fun person to hang around with for the two days that I was there. I can honestly say that if I had my wedding to do over again, I would beg you to come to St. Louis!! It was great to meet you and good luck in the future with everything that you do, you are a true talent.

brianne + eric had a tropical destination wedding with sun, sand and sandals right here in mid-Missouri. And oh my, was it BEAUTIFUL! The ceremony took place on the beach at The Lodge of Four Seasons: . . . the flower arrangements by Alan-Anderson’s Just Fabulous! flower shop (out of Ashland) were exquisite . ….

Amy,
I babysit these girls when they were little and my mom babysat Libby(Elizabeth) when she was little. She is from Monroe City. How fun. I hope that you are friends. Tell her I said hello.
The pictures from Amy and Kyle Watsons wedding were great.
Take care.
