My Best Friend's Wedding!

On September 1, 2007, one of my closest friends since junior high got married!! Jenny and I first met on the track team at good ol' J.N. Fries Middle. Jenny was (and still is!) a superb athlete....I, on the other hand, was trying out just to fill in the season before softball started up again. While I was huffing and puffing and basically passing out at practice, Jenny would always race by me and cheer me on....and it always made my day :) So, we started off as just "track team friends" and then we became "hallways friends" and then we became best friends! Jenny is still the most motivated person I know....when she says she is going to do something, she goes right out there and gets the job done, whether it's in school or work or sports. After high school we ended up going to separate colleges and I missed her dearly but we always made sure to take roadtrips to each others university.

Jenny ended up going to Carolina and along the way met Nick. Nick is such a cool guy, with a great sense of humor and he is the strongest guy I've ever met!!!! And then one day in Mid-May I get a phone call from Jenny....."I have some news for you.....I just got engaged!!!" Well, she should have warned me, because I was actually driving when she called me and I was so happy for her I almost ran off the road!!!!

Nick and Jenny had a short summer engagement because they knew exactly what they wanted: they got married at sunset on Oak Island Beach and had the reception at her parent's beach house.....and I got to be a bridesmaid!!!!!!!

Here are a few pictures from that night.......Mike did the best he could, sitting in the very last row:


Her dress is so pretty....it was actually her mother's and they converted it into a more modern fit...
















Congrats again Nick and Jenny.......I couldn't be happier for yall!!! Love you! :)
