Over the weekend, we celebrated an exciting day for our Foster Home family! Last Saturday our nurse Ellie married John, who does public relations work in our offices. The ceremony was held in our back yard, and a lovely evening reception took place in New Day's main courtyard.
Victoria was in awe of the beautiful bride and was so excited to dress up and attend this special event with the nannies. She was by Ellie's side at every opportunity. She even got to wear a little glittery makeup and kept asking for more applications of lip gloss! 
Our nannies sat along the aisle and threw rose petals just before Ellie and her dad walked down the aisle.
Nannies excitedly arrive at the wedding.
Little Madeline has a special place in John's heart, so she got a special invitation from to attend the wedding with her foster parents.
Carrie did a beautiful job with the flowers.

Byron officiated the ceremony, and Karen oversaw each detail to ensure the wedding was beautiful!
