A Woodlands Farrie-bell

There is no description of who I am or what we do that would ever be complete without mention of my daughter, Farris Victoria.  The ways that she expands my heart are boundless and her existence has changed the way I look at  life and weddings for that matter.  So please allow me to introduce you to my 'baby angel'.

When a family arrives on the day of a Woodland bride's wedding, I am often impacted by how quickly life ebbs and flows. I look at my 3 year-old little red-head just beginning to embrace the world and then the bride, a woman stepping beautifully into the next chapter of her life. Our bride's parents must feel like their little girl has gone in the blink of an eye from a 3 year-old like mine (who picks dandelions for bouquets and tells me that she's getting "maryied") to a woman ready to walk down the aisle. 

I have never seen time move faster than when Farris came along.  She is my little forever-changing reminder of how life moves forward and each day is precious.

I hope many things for the brides that choose The Woodlands for their weddings.  I often remind myself that each beautiful bride that graces our doorstep is someone's daughter, someone's treasure, someone's joy.  I find great joy in assisting with every mother's daughter's wedding, believing that the peace and happiness I plant now for others will eventually flower in my own life.  Someday I will be blessed to see my little peanut take that long aisle walk away from me to join what I am sure will be a wonderful man.  In the meantime I'll treasure dandelion bouquets and the privilege of providing wonderful parents and brides the chance to celebrate their own milestones.
