Happily ever after!

If you have seen that movie Tuck Everlasting , that was what Aaron called Braden the first time he met him.
 So on August 29th Tuck Everlasting got his girl!

From the rehearsal day to the wedding I watched my baby girl smile from ear to ear. She kept saying, "I'm getting married". Yes you are, God made you to be a wife, he prepared your heart and mind for what a wife should be. I felt blessed to be not just the mother of the bride, but her confidant about her fears, her excitement and to see the beauty in this relationship. The rehearsal dinner was so much fun to see them work as a team with all their friends, to see them laugh together  and to enjoy the evening even though they both rather not be center of attention. The food was amazing!

We all couldn't sleep much  Friday night, excited for the big day! When I went to Alyssa's apartment I was overjoyed with smiles and some tears of how beautiful she looked. She was getting pampered left and right. Her sister was there, her new sister n laws were there, her childhood best friend. It was a great morning. Now if the wind would stop and the clouds move on.  Went to Fort Vancouver to take pictures,

Her daddy anxiously waiting to see her first (She had always said she wanted to have a moment first with her daddy), tears in his eyes he waited, she tapped on his shoulder and he was in awe of her. I stood afar letting them have their moment and you could see they were in that moment where she is still his little girl but now moving on to become a wife. He told me later that Braden is a lucky man and he was excited to see what becomes of their future.

The groom was so excited to get on with this, that when I saw Braden at his car he was like, Come on, lets get on with this. I want to see her now". I felt honored that Alyssa wanted me to be there to witness that moment. He was anxiously waiting, it was fun to see her in her shortness reach up cover his eyes and then he turned around. He was in awe of her, he just looked at her over and over and was memorized by her. That was their moment!

The wedding was about to start and from what I am told daddy prayed with her and held her and reassured her that she is good, she will be a great wife, she will be a great partner. Aaron was so honored to be able to give Alyssa away. Im so proud Aaron didn't cry, and I got teary eyed but held it together. It overall was a great day and we are so excited to have a son n law and the Tuck's have a new daughter. We feel so blessed by God that he brought these familes together.





I think The groom was excited to finally have his bride!
