The 2nd song made me cry as well as the 7th song. 2nd song The Story by Brandi Carlie is not only a beautiful song but reminds me of a story that Ashley & Thomas shared with me on one of their many adventures to ACL. It reminds me that these two individuals were most definitely made for each other. A pair that was destined to meet in the large sea of people on myspace. The 7th song (even though the rest are good as well - these just stick out to me) The Last Beat of My Heart by Devotchka makes me want to cry from overjoyed happiness in my heart. Such a beautiful song full of spirit that Ashley & Thomas exude. There's an energy that comes from these two that makes your heart feel light and young. The same way I feel when I'm with my angel sissy.
The wedding was full of rain but also a heavy downpour of excitement from such a wonderful union. I feel so unbelievably honored to be a part of their wedding, a part of their lives. My sissy and Thomas are an Amber magnet. My whole heart is happy for them. When I think about Ashley and Thomas I think what an amazing love they have. What an amazing friendship they have. Two people who never want to be separate from each other because they love each other's company more than anything in the world. They listen to each other's dreams and make them happen together. They fight hard for each other. They are the best of friends that anyone could ever wish to have. They are the Nicolas Sparks books you read. The Twilight movie you watch over and over. Nothing is impossible when it comes to Ashley and Thomas. I couldn't be more proud of two individuals who found the love of their life and celebrate it every day.
I almost burst into a weird cry as I walked down the aisle to stand close to my soon to be brother in law that I'm so unbelievably proud of…it made me laugh actually. I can't thank him enough for taking the other half of my heart and making sure it's always happy. When my sister and daddy came down the aisle I was stunned by her beauty and the sweet tearful look on my daddy's face that reminded me of my wedding. He must be so happy to know that both of his daughters are with two wonderful men. 
The wedding was so fun and beautiful. I loved watching my baby and Noah run around on the dance floor before it was time to dance. Uncle James manning the party music. The amazing cakes my amazing talented aunt Brigette and Edye made. It was also beautiful because of my mommy. Everything my mother touches is beautiful. I don't know how I didn't get her amazing gift of making things beautiful but she does it better than anyone I know. It was so wonderful to see all of our family and friends, existing and new, get together for the best day of two amazing people's lives. I couldn't imagine a better way to celebrate. In fact, I miss their wedding as Ashley tells me every day I talk to her about it. 
Oh almost forgot, one of my favorite parts. My sister played a song for us to dance to. I totally forgot what she picked for us. As soon as it started I buried my head in my sister's neck and stayed there like an ostrich…and cried the whole time. It's Sister by Dave Mathtews Band. Listen to it. This made me feel so unbelievably special. I can't listen to this song without crying. How did my sister find this song? I could never make it through life without her. She makes me exist. She is my heart walking around this world a part from me most days. I can't believe how amazing she makes me feel. Oh man…makes me miss her just writing this. She's 30 minutes away but even that is too far most days I miss her. She's the only person on this earth that speaks my language. The language to my heart. I exist because she does. Her happiness with her amazing husband makes me feel like the luckiest person on earth. I am forever lucky. I love y'all both so much. Thanks for making me feel amazing. Congratulations!
