Meet the Little Guys

Meet the young men in my life:



Matthew- Usher
- He is my oldest nephew. I have helped take care of Matt since he was born when I was only 16. I'd say we have a very close bond... we are best buds and he can always count on me. He always reminds me that I am getting older and keeps me in the loop of what is cool. Wouldn't be right not to include him on the big day.

Christopher - Ring Bearer
- He is my soon to be 5 year old nephew. He brings lots of joy to me watching him grow and learn new things each day. It is amazing how many questions a kid can ask in a short period of time... you gotta love it! It's going to be great watching him walk down the aisle with our "rings."




Christopher, Alex & Matthew
