On July 13, my cousin Shane married his beautiful bride Ashley, and they asked Riley to be the flower girl. First we had the rehearsal at Ashley and Shane's home in the country. My other cousin's son, Cruz, was the ring bearer. They both seemed a little hesitant at first, but warmed up fairly quickly.

The day of the wedding, we went to get her hair done all fancy.

And after...She loved being able to dress up like a princess in her pretty white dress and fancy new sandals. She was a little nervous about smiling for the pictures at first, but warmed up once she found some familiar faces in Cruz and Nikki (and who are we kidding, we bribed the kids with lots of candy!)
After pictures, we took a break at the hotel but didn't have enough time for a nap. When we returned to the golf course for the ceremony, she had a mini-meltdown and "I don't wanna do this" moment, but we got through that in time for a short limo ride then a brilliant grin as she walked down the aisle confidently! So proud of her and Cruz.
