Ashlee Carroll and Matt Laycock were married at Spirit Ranch in Lubbock, Texas on June 6th, 2009, and that day will be a great memory for Sydni and Makenzi for the rest of their lives. I remember how special it was to be a flower girl at a wedding, and feel like you are a part of something BIG! The girls woke up that day buzzing about "Ash-a-lee's Wedding" and wanted to start putting make up on at 9am!
We did do make up and hair later on that day, but what matters most is that BOTH flowergirls performed at the ceremony! Sydni strolled confidently with the handsome ring bearer, while Makenzi cowed and walked with her head down a few steps behind the duo. I also think she shot a few dirty looks at people who chuckled at her stance, but overall I was SHOCKED she actually did it!
I had to delicately "retrieve" her from the front, but her sister Sydni was a total pro at the flower girl stuff. She stood quietly the entire ceremony with the other bridesmaids in shoes that were "killing me", she said after the service was over. I was so proud of both my adorable girlies! Check out a few of the professional pictures the girls were in (I LOVE Domonique Harmon's work and know that we will definitely be using her studio in the future), and then a few of my pics that look very weak in comparison to Dominique's awesome shots! Congratualtions Matt & Ash, and thank you for letting our girls be a part of your special day!

Sydni could be a professional flower girl.
Even flower girls need gloss! My friend Brooke (and bridesmaid at the wedding) helps attend to our "high maintanence" flower girl! Brooke also helped me sew up Makenzi's dress moments before the ceremony began. The little turd ripped out three of her gatherings while playing!
What a perfect pucker!
Doing what they do best - running around like wild women. Sweaty flower girls are an example of irony or a conundrum right?
Loving the dresses!
Enunciating her "Cheese"
Blowing Matt a kiss! What a lucky guy, right?
Posing by one of the peacocks that roam the grounds. They make loud noises like a whining cat. Pretty, but wierd, no?

Taking her job as flower girl VERY seriously. We practiced the tossing technique and everything, every where we went, too!
The shoes were her favorite part of the outfit at first, but at the end of the ceremony they were "killing" her! LOL!
Aiden, the ring bearer, and the girls. They thought he was pretty cute!
Doesn't Ashlee make a beautiful bride? The girls acted like she was a rock star!
Beautiful scenery for a wedding all around them!
