Family of the Bride & Groom

Tom
Tom - Father of the Groom
Favorite memory with Kyle? “Lots of great memories but one of the best was train hunting. Kyle’s fondness for toy trains and the real thing had us getting up early on Saturday mornings to drive around to see if we could find some rolling through towns around us. Kyle was the spotter and would yell ‘train, daddy train’ with the same excitement every time. Made me smile”
Nancy
Nancy - Mother of the Bride
Favorite memory with Alexis? "One of my favorite memories of Alexis is when she would help us with Austin. Austin was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at 3. Austin did not have verbal communication until he was about 5. Alexis on the other hand was a chatter box by 2. We would work hard on getting Austin to talk and would turn his head toward us to get him to develop eye contact and to engage. We would also encourage him to use his words. Alexis absorbed our mission with working with Austin. As the little sister, she took on a leadership role and made it her personal mission to help Austin talk and engage in socializing. Alexis would grab Austin's hand and guide him around, sometimes she would come up to us while holding Austin's hand and say " Austin wants MCDONALD'S" , Austin would just shake his head ...yes. They knew we would reward this, so I think it was more of a master plan for the two after awhile. But, it was too cute not to reward. She was his defender, spokesperson, best friend. She would take Austin's face and turn it toward her and say "look at me, when you speak". "Use your words Austin" I attribute Alexis to bringing Austin out of his shell. I am so happy to see these qualities still in Alexis. I thank God everyday for her. She is a great sister, daughter, leader and defender of so many people. I am happy that she found her partner in life. I love you babygirl."
Rosalinda
Rosalinda - Grandma
Mother Figure of Bride Favorite memory with Alexis? "There are so many. I remember when Lexi was born and her eyes were hazel. My mother and sister would call everyday to see what color her eyes were going to turn out to be. Even when she was crawling and heard Cumbia music, she would always shake her booty."
Louisa
Louisa - Aunt
Mother Figure of Bride Favorite memory with Alexis? "My favorite memory with my niece Alexis was at my wedding when the photographer was trying to get Alexis to smile. Alexis refused to smile for this photographer. He tried all day! Finally, he caught her sitting alone and she thought if she lifted a layer of her dress and covered her face, he couldn't see her. The layer was transparent. Alexis did not smile but he captured the most beautiful picture of Alexis."
