Matron Of Honor....

My little sister, Courtney Paige, is getting married I can't even believe it... I am so very excited for her and Ryan, they have been dating for about a decade now... High school sweethearts the whole nine... I remember when they were Freshman in high school, while I was a senior and the boys teased Ryan for liking Courtney before he had the courage to take her on a date. I remember Courtney getting so red in the face when anyone would ask her how things were going with ryan and if they held hands yet.... 

Alot has changed, but they seemed to grow closer together. Its hard to believe my little sister will be a married woman... She is still my shadow, a little girl in a messy dress with a stringy pony tail... A little girl with a barney poster above her bed.... A little girl who played mud pies with me in the yard... A friend to ride bikes with and to torment... A sister to fight with over who has the bathroom next and to give me a black eye by slamming a door in my face.... She is still the pitcher in the middle of a softball field and the cd maker for the 3 minute car ride to school... She is my secret keeper and my late night steak and shake ride or die... she is my late night long ride to an Erlanger movie... she is my chick flick buddy and shopping pal... She is my vacation partner, St. Augustine florida memory sharer... She is my vera loving, coach carrying, matchbox twenty listening best friend.... She is a woman and it all happened before my eyes.... 

Congratulations on your wedding day and always know you will always be my little sister and even if Ryan and I have our moments he will have no choice but to be my brother....  I love you more than words can say... I know there are special people who cannot be here but know they are watching... And if rain falls, know its them crying tears of joy for you as they watch you in your gown... 

I am always a phone call away and I can show up at the drop of a hat! Love you, my sister; my friend.....
