is getting married on Saturday! It's unbelievable! Sixteen years ago, she was my flower girl at my wedding, and now as of Saturday, she too will be married.
Besides being my flower girl, she is also my youngest niece. I was twelve when she was born, and I remember it like yesterday. She was born on December 26th. Almost a Christmas baby. I was outside playing with my friends when my grandmother came out to tell me that she had been born. I was very excited. My sister named her Nicheli Rubicella. I loved the name, not just because it was similar to mine, but because I thought it was so cool.
I quickly became her baby sitter, and she became my doll. I used to dress her just like me and when I started to drive, I took her everywhere with me. When I started working, I used to buy her clothes and toys.
When I got married, she would come and spend the day with me. We would watch t.v and just hang out. She was a funny kid and her and I got along very well.
She happened to live down the street from my in-laws and one day, she knocked on their door and my mother in law answered. Very quickly she informed her that I did not know how to cook, and that the only thing I ever made Buddy was spaghetti. Then like a seven year old does,
she ran off. I still laugh at that till this day. And, my mother in law reminds me of this to this day too. And, sixteen years later, I still only know how to make spaghetti and I still don't cook.
When we moved to Phoenix, and didn't get to see her as much. She was busy with school. She was very active in school, and was a cheerleader. When she graduated, she moved in with us for a while, but she was home sick and went back home. A few months later, she met Hector.
Hector took her to NYC for New Years and proposed to her. And 10 months later, here we are. Getting ready for the wedding.
Nicheli as my flower girl and.................
as a bride. I can safely post this picture, because this is not her dress. I had the honor of being with her when she selected her dress, and I have to say that it is absolutely breathtaking. It is gorgeous!! And, she will look amazing!! Nicheli and Hector have a daughter, her name is Alessandra, and she will be HER flower girl. She is cute as a button. At every bridal fitting, she tries on her dress and she tells everyone that she is the flower girl at Nicheli and Hector's wedding. Not mom and dad, but Nicheli and Hector. She is funny.
This is her cake topper that I finished last night. It's completely covered in Swarovski crystals. It looks so much prettier in person.
I also made her an envelope holder for her gift table. This one, I finished last week.
I think it came out pretty good.
