Dear Alex:
I can’t believe you are married! I look at you and still see my beautiful, baby girl. You and I, we have done this journey together, and it is bittersweet to watch you begin your own journey! I remember way back when you were a baby and I was a single mom….I was so scared! I was a baby myself. How was I going to raise this little girl on my own. I remember the day I looked at you a decided….I was going to give you everything…no matter how hard. This little girl deserves a good life. I worked through school until I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Even though we didn’t have money, I tried my best to make every step of the journey fun. Then Eric stepped in and showed me that he loved my daughter as much as me, and that he was going to raise you like you were his own. I’m blessed on so many levels, and can’t express how proud I am of the woman you have become. From little girl, to feisty teen, to college graduate and wonderful mom, you will continue to make us proud parents. We love you beyond words. And TJ…you show us every day what an amazing dad you are, and amazing man you are. We are proud to have you as our son-in-law. Love you both so much!
Also, so many people to thank for this perfect day! All of our family and friends, for helping and supporting this endeavor! Especially Marky P! You saved the day more times than I can count. Thank you to the best wedding planner on EARTH, Mrs. Tiana Yates!! You are amazing on every single level, and we couldn’t have pulled this off without you! Jordan Cathey for the beautiful wedding hair! You are so talented, and we are so happy you were there with us! Kassidy Olmstead for taking the pictures that I needed to be in! You are amazing! To TJ’s sister Kassandra for the beautiful florals! To Eric and Slick for the amazing meat, and Billie Jo Layne for the amazing salads and sides! To my three nieces for helping serve food! You guys rock! To all of our decorators, errand runners, and anything else I forgot to mention! Love all of you so much, and I can’t say enough how much I appreciate you!
And now, Meet Mr. and Mrs. Schneemann!
