One of my best friends, Caroline, got married the weekend after Christmas. Livi and I were so excited when she asked us both to be a part of her wedding day! Caroline and I met our freshman year of college when we were paired as roommates. It couldn't have been more perfect, we've been friends for more than 16 years! While in school, we met Kathy, Jonna and Jenny and the 5 of us became insperable throughout school. I love these girls! Jonna and Jenny both have girls who are the same age as Alyvia. All 3 girls were asked to be flower girls for the wedding.

We started celebrating Friday evening at the rehearsal and then dinner at Weaver Ridge, a local golf club.

I have so much in common with both of these girls and I love them so much. It makes me sad that they live 2-3 hours away from us :( Whenever we get together, no matter how long it has been, they are the kind of friends that you pick right up where you left off from. I miss them just thinking about it. Our girls are such good friends too and always get along so well when they see each other!

Caroline got the girls gifts for being a part of the wedding and we were all surprised by how awesome the gifts were!

| Each flower girl got a "Caroline" American Girl doll |
We got up bright and early Saturday morning to get ready for the big wedding day! I did Alyvia and Addy's hair at our house.

Then we met up with the rest of the bridal party at Caroline's parents house

Alyvia walked down the aisle with the 4th flower girl, little Ella. She is the grooms niece and she just turned 2 recently. She was trying so hard to be like the big girls :) Livi did such a good job guiding Ella down the aisle and making sure she got to her grandparents at the end.
It was the end of December and the temperature was in the upper 30's and sunny! It couldn't have been better weather for the time of year.

The wedding party rode on a trolley to the reception. The poor girls almost fell asleep on the way there!
When we got to the reception site, the little girls were
starving. So Alan stopped at McDonalds and rescued them :)
 |
| Mmmmm, chicken nuggets! |
The reception venue was a country club and it was decorated so cute. They brought in couches for a lounge feel on either side of the dance floor, so fun! And they had a band for the music and they were super fun. It was such a fun weekend celebrating!

The little girls loved the party! They had so much fun dancing to the band!
I wish I had a picture of the bride and groom. I guess when you have kids in the wedding, they take precedence! We had so much fun celebrating their wedding day and we wish Caroline and her new husband Jim, the best for their future together <3
