We spent hours with the same mamma, each holding a leg, helping her welcome her wittle baby into the world.&nbsp;Favorite thing about the brideHer ability to feel deeply for those around her.

Her hugs have the wonderful effect that a mother's hug does; unconditional love and support.Extras&nbsp;Jordyn you and Alan are such special friends to Daniel and I.

Jordyn has been a tried and true friend through our college years and I honestly don’t know how I would have survived nursing school without her and Juliana by my side!
