The Beginning - after 4 years

As some of you already know, I was recently married in January.  We dated longer than most couples do nowadays (4 years-that's 20 years in Celebrity Relationship Years) and we are beyond excited to begin our journey as "the newlyweds."  To celebrate this occasion I have decided my first blog should be dedicated to Our Wedding Day.  The first images will be from my pre-bridal session. 





























This one is too cute!  After several failed attemps, Amber gave up trying to get Alexis to kiss Drew on the cheek. :)



I have no idea.  Lol.














His dad's face trips me out in this one.  Looks like he's saying, "Well, good luck son." Lol.

















Almost time!


































The next series of pictures are quite humorous to me. :)  I love my cousin.


















Ok, so you may wonder why I am crying/laughing as we are about to head out on our honeymoon.

When I was about 3 or 4 I was the miniature bride in my cousin's (more like my second mom-I call her Nini) wedding.  She always took me everywhere she and her now husband went so our family decided to play a joke on her and her husband.  They packed me a little suitcase and painted the front of it with cartoon bears (a groom-bear, a bride-bear, and a little girl/me-bear) and put on it "Going to Nini's".  Then while Nini and Michael were getting changed, they hid me in the back seat of their getaway car.  I still have the picture of Nini laughing in the car and Michael looking fearful that I was actually going with them!  :D
So flash-forward about 21 years and they decided to get me back!


 


And we're off!!
Had to include this one.  I love my family.  This is my mom trying to console my cousin after I left.  :)  I'm her "baby girl".
Thanks for reading!
