Allyson and Ryan are MARRIED!

This past weekend I had the honor to be a part of my dear sweet friend Allyson Wisdom's wedding. I meet Allyson day one in college at UGA. We lived on the same hall in Russell dorm, rushed in the same rush group, and instantly became best of friends. I call her "my angel" as I am confident God placed her in my life for many reasons. I seriously do not know how I would have made it through some difficult situations or had nearly the joy in college without her.

The wedding festivities started Thursday night with a cookout at her and Ryan's new home. Ryan is from Michigan so all his groomsmen had come down to love on him and give him a little Bachelor Party before the big day. Their house is beautiful and the whole evening was very enjoyable. We were able to meet many of Ryan's friends and their significant others, as well as fellowship with the soon-to-be Newlyweds. As our gift to them, all the bridesmaids pitched-in and gave them a hanging swing for their patio.



Three sweet ladies from Allyson's church hosted a beautiful and very "Allyson" Bridesmaids luncheon. Daises, which are Allyson's most favorite flower, were everywhere- in the arrangements, the shape of cheese wafers and cupcakes, on the name tags, etc. The house where it was hosted was stunning, located on the river in Alpharetta with a multitude of flowers in perfect bloom everywhere. Us girls had fun taking pictures here.






The rehearsal Friday night went without even a hiccup followed by a yummy BBQ dinner where Ryan gave his groomsmen their gift, Allyson and Ryan thanked each of their sets of parents for all the love, support and encouragement, and we all got to see a lovely slide show of sweet little Allyson and Ryan over their years growing up. The kind words spoken about these two were pouring out of every one's mouths. It was wonderful to witness something so beautiful and special.



And then the wedding day.... the sun was shining, the church was beautiful and the bride-wow! Allyson was gleaming from ear to ear the entire time. She did an outstanding job planning every detail to the tea. Her adorable dad assisted the minister in the ceremony and did an incredible job. Allyson's brother Jonathan performed the special music playing his guitar and singing- he is amazing. Afterward the reception and a few more pictures, the reception was held in the fellowship hall where we enjoyed some yummy food, danced and visited with friends and other family.











I am so happy for Allyson and Ryan and the life together God has in store. May God be the center of your marriage and may there be much happiness and joy as Mr and Mrs. Vamplew!
