Crossover — Ashley + Tyson's wedding

If you asked me to recall a time before I knew Courtney and her family, I'd have to wrinkle my nose and think hard. I mean, I guess I met her in second grade or something ... but kindergarden is all a blur for me. As is much of first grade.

And with no kids on my block that were really my age, the fact that Courtney lived 2 blocks away was just fantastic!

We've grown, parted, reunited, been in the same social circles, been in other circles. But just always sort of been. If not in the same circle, at least in the peripheral.

Part of the peripheral was Ashley, Courtney's little sister. It just seems like she was always there. At swim team. In journalism. Just always there.

So when I received an e-mail in December from Ashley ... little Ashley who would goof off during swim team practice, telling me she was getting married and wanted us to shoot her wedding photos .... well, I felt honored. And old. ;)


Couldn't have asked for a more stunning bride, though. It would be a physical impossibility.

Here's a fun tidbit: after meeting with Ashley, Tyson and Ashley's mom to talk about wedding photos, the girls invited me along to do some wedding dress shopping. I was way tickled to go!
