My dear sister has been with me through the great times and the hard times. I trust her so much and without her support I would not be where I'm at today. I'm so happy she will be by my side when I get married!

Shelley and I have been great friends ever since the first day of college where we matched up as freshman roomates! We have seen and done everything together and now that Steve is in my life she will have to find a new traveling buddy...although I'm sure we will still take a few "Girl's Trips" sometime!

Sweet Lilly is so excited to be aa part of the wedding, she might have asked me more questions than my wedding planner. Ilove being her "Auntie Dee" and I can't wait to see her walk down the aisle and make everyone smile.

My older brother Mark, what can I say, he has been my rock, my inspiration. I strive to have the family he has created with his loving wife, son and daughter. He has helped me through so many times in my life, I can not thank him enough.

Eric and I have been great friends since we first walked into our elementary school together, both of us new kids on the same day from places far away. We stayed friends even while he was away in New York at Art School and now that he is living close we try and see each other as much as possible. I'm so happy that he and his family will be part of this amazing experience for Deanna and I.

My little nephew might have some assistance from his dad Mark bringing and holding on the rings but one thing is for sure...he will bring plenty of smiles to everyone in attendance.
