    It was so much fun helping you with whatever needed done. My greatest joys are making veils and incorporating part of the mom’s veil in some way. Every stitch count and every person I sew for is prayed for. So happy to see Allana so excited. Congratulations Allana and Andrew.

    Alot of energy and work went into this but praise the Lord every moment that you have the privilege to do this for your daughter. So many mums does not this type op relationship with there children or just does not have the talent. We pray for good weather and a beautiful day💝

    Oh my word Arika everything is perfect even the rain! God is so good and he gives us what we need! Alaina seems so calm regardless of the circumstances! I am so happy for you and your family! We have been there and your advice to your daughter is spot on! Our daughter married 10 years ago on the beach in Florida with a huge wedding! It was a little overwhelming! But they all turned out they way should, our son was married at end of November this last tear and even during a pandemic it was so perfect! The memories and the commitment are the true gift of what she has! I wish her many happy years! Your Tennessee friend and fan

    I luv how much of the wedding prep you were able to DIY yourselves - I feel like people today get so absorbed with spending money when things can really be done ourselves for so much less (and IMO, look just as beautiful). Wish I was there to have helped you out - things looked so pretty! Congrats!!

Congrads to the Bride and Hubby and to you Mom for making sure it all went off well. Oh btw I have a cricut and you are the first person I've seen use the big mat. You have got to tell me how to do that or how you learnt it. Anyway Congratulations to all of you!!! Also I watch Mandy all the time and the stuffed peppers are great!!!
