I always knew that I wanted to ask my girls in a special way to be a bridesmaid for my special day. So when I got engaged I started making plans for a special and unique way. So after searching pinterest for a few hours, I finally came up with a very special way. I bought these boxes from Michael's and stained them, then I wrote the words FAITH, HOPE, LOVE. In each box had a special poem and the colors of my wedding. Here is the poem for the bridesmaid.......
Faith,
Hope, Love ……The greatest of these is Love
Faith
has taught me God has a plan for me.
He
wants me to be Happy, Joyous and have the Love
of
someone to share my journey.
As
girls we played house with our dolls
and
hoped one day to have our own family to love.
My
time has come for that journey to begin.
On the day that I marry this wonderful man,
I hope by my side you will proudly stand.
The one thing on which I could always depend,
was an open ear from you my friend.
Thank you for all the support that you lend,
but mostly I thank you for being my friend.
So on my wedding day, I will need you more than ever.
Please say you'll be my bridesmaid now.... and my friend forever.
Here is the one for the MOH- My sister of course!!

To get ready for a wedding there's just so much to do,
from choosing bridesmaid's dresses, to finding something blue.
I see so very clearly, how this wedding's only one,
of the many times you've helped me, when things needed to be done.
Simply to say thank you, just doesn't seem to share,
the feelings here inside me, when I see how much you care.
You are so very special and my heart is grateful for
the friendship that we share and will be forevermore.
Now on the day I marry, you will be the one to stand
as my maid of honor, near me close at hand.
Of memories we've shared, this day just would not be,
the one that I had dreamed of, without you next to me.
And though our lives keep changing, I will still look forward to,
all the many things we'll share, as only sisters do.
And for my sweet flower girls I gave them each a headband with my colors and a hankercif with their initials to go with a poem for them.
You are so very young, but the years will pass by
and you'll too be a bride, in the blink of an eye.
While you may not remember, the day that I married,
the part that you played, or the basket you carried.
There will be a day, that will burn bright like an ember.
The day you will wed, you will always remember.
So here is a hankie, for the day you will say...
"I need "something old" for my wedding day"
All My Love Sweetheart.
