Our country wedding was all about fun, family and surprises.
When I was planning my wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted to be my flower girl. I love my younger cousins, but I chose a woman who has been married for over 50 years, raised four kids and cared for 11 grandkids and eight great-grandkids. I chose Margie Miller, my grandmother.
What a legacy Maw Maw has given us. She’s a one-of-a-kind, special edition woman who can sew, cook, clean, garden, farm, feed chickens, chase children and smile at the same time. I wanted that strong, faithful woman to lead me down the aisle at my wedding. She didn’t believe me when I asked her to be my flower girl! My husband-to-be, Chris, loves his grandparents as much as I love mine, so I asked his granny, Patsy Chatham, to be a flower girl, too.
