i really can't say enough wonderful things about ashley, rj, and their whole family. the day started with the traditional primping in the girl's room, and as ashley was reviewing her vows to rj, she listed about a million reasons why she loved him. some of them being...
- he always says "hi gorgeous" when answering the phone
- they have fun doing their taxes (they really did!)
- he is an incredible father
- she didn't believe in marriage until she met him
we almost started crying right there! as the day went on, and i was able to meet rj, their love for each other was so evident. their blended family is so beautiful, and all three kids couldn't have been more happy. it was a small, intimate wedding, that couldn't have been more perfect. even the girls being late heightened the anticipation! :)
for dinner, everyone headed over to "Pop's - a Durham Trattoria". it was fabulous! by now, i really felt part of the family as Reily asked me to sit with her to eat dinner, and Trey kept writing me notes like "you are cute" on his Nintendo. I had a blast.
{trey writing a note to me! his last one said "you are pretty like an angel cross my heart"... so precious!}
Stay tuned for more photos of this beautiful family in September, as we are going to party! They are having a big wedding reception then.
What a beautiful evening! Ashley and RJ, thank you for letting me be a part of your day.
