Wedding bells for Alicia and Luke


We have been planning and helping prepare for Alicia and Luke’s wedding for a long time. And the big day finally came on Saturday, Sept. 25! What a beautiful, fun and amazing time we all had! Alicia was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. Seriously.

We are so happy for them and so honored that we all were able to be a part of their big day.

I remember when Alicia asked me to be in her wedding … to be her maid (matron sounds old) of honor. I was very shocked and very, very honored! See, Alicia has three brothers and no sisters, which is kind of sad. But, she grew up with several girl cousins, who are all amazing and very sisterly.

In the past year, I have come to realize that Alicia thinks of me as her true sister, and I have been touched beyond words. We have become very good friends, and that has been such an amazing gift!

She also asked if Emma could be the flower girl. I am not exaggerating when I say that Emma was only a few weeks old at the time. I had these early visions of Emma walking with long, beautiful curls and I would be thin.

Neither came true, but the joy and happiness we all anticipated was certainly evident. And Emma was a huge hit ... not much hair, but she walked down the aisle with me and was good throughout the entire ceremony. She also tore up the dance floor!

What a fabulously, perfect-planned wedding. I have to give Alicia so much credit. She spent A LOT of time and energy planning all of the details, and it showed. Everything was so perfect!

She was stunning - her hair, dress, makeup, jewelry, everything was perfect. The colors were great for the fall wedding. The decorations were beautiful ... e

verything just came together!

Denny also got to be a groomsman. He was pretty handsome in that tux ... and it was neat to see all of the brothers stand together ... five between Luke and Alicia!

It was a very fun, very hectic, very perfect day!

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Luke Miller!
