Can't forget the Junior Bridesmaid!!

After thinking of how I wanted my family involved in my wedding. 
Such as ushers and who will walk who down the isle. One thing I kept going back to is where will my darling niece Reagan sit or stand or how do I want her helping on our day. It occurred to me that I had left someone out of my bridal party...

Reagan is my oldest niece, but she is the closest I will ever get to having blood sister. We are closer in age than both of older brothers. When she was born, I remember I was so excited and could not contain myself.  I thought I was the coolest person alive because I was an Aunt at such a young age of 8! I wanted to spend every waking minute with my precious niece. One of the greatest things I am proud of is being an Aunt. The first year of her life, my mother watched her often and I loved playing with her and teaching her and watching her grow. I remember her first birthday like it was yesterday. She wasn't quite walking yet, but I would hold both her hands and put her in front of me and help her walk around. I remember swimming and playing soccer in the backyard together when she grew old enough. I remember when she lost her first tooth or when we would put cookies out for santa and I would write letters to Santa for her. We basically grew up together and have been a constant person in one another's lives. 






Time has gone by so fast because now is she going to be a Freshman in High School (man do I feel old). I always love cheering her on at her soccer games! She has become quite the goalie!! I am more proud of her than ever because she has turned out to be such a well-rounded little woman! She has amazing ideals and values and is pretty-much fearless when it comes to challenges. She is honestly everything I wished I was going into high school!!

So naturally she is assuming the place as my junior bridesmaid!!! I want nothing more than my oldest niece to stand next to me as I marry her soon to be uncle! 


XOXO,

Soon to be Mrs. Glynn
