Ashley is Getting Married Saturday!

There's nothing like a family wedding!
My Granddaughter, Ashley,who is my "Baby Cakes" is getting married Saturday. Ashley is the third generation working at Gateway Title. Her Mom, Michelle, was with me when I started the company 16 years ago.An eight year old Ashley and her little brother, Robby would come into the office on the week-ends as Michelle and I worked, they played "Gateway Title" with the phones and writing notes on the telephone message pads.They drew pictures for everyone and they proudly hung them up decorating the offices.
Time just flies!
Ashley's dress is hanging from the ceiling fan with the train spread out on the bed underneath(the only place high enough so there will be no wrinkles) in our spare bedroom waiting for her to take it to the church Saturday. Just like her Mom's and Aunts Suzanne and Renee's bridal gowns waiting for them.
Everyone is pitching in from soup to nuts.
The only problem with a family business is we have not been at the office (mentally and physically) all week. God Bless the WONDERFUL staff. This has not been an easy week for them but they have pitched in to make sure everything there continued smoothly for our customers. I never once worried that they wouldn't. Without their support, I think I'd have been a basket case by today. The rehearsal dinner is at my home - a little bit of pressure there. Everybody is cooking their special dishes we all love. It's under control. Michelle has done a fantastic job organizing and getting everything done. It's almost time.... I know I'll cry in happiness for my Baby Cakes. Her Joel is a lucky Guy.
Please God -"Bless them with Lasting Love".
