Here is the gorgeous bride from the wedding my husband and I attended a couple months ago. When we married, she was 9, and that was the first time I met her (and most of my husband's family.) At the time, we were living about 3 hours away from them and it was a guessing game each Thanksgiving trying to figure out which cousin was which. In my defense, he has a lot of cousins. They hit their growth spurts sporadically like most and trying to keep them straight by height or how old they looked just didn't work.
She is the youngest, and it has been amazing to see the woman she has become. I remember moments from her teen years, like wanting to be old enough to try out for American Idol and that I can't even recall seeing her at her graduation open house (those are really for your parents anyway.)
Today, she's a woman who is open and fun, enjoys the bingo hall, and can connect with my son in a way that should probably make me feel incompetent, but rather makes me so happy to see him engage with someone who really gets him.
It's not always easy to find someone who is as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, but she definitely makes the list.
