BRANDI'S WEDDING!!!!

Brandi Leavitt moved to Lloyminster way back in 2008, she came up here to play Basketball for the Lakeland College. We were already trying to make it to games when we could and that just gave us a better reason to go. We went as often as possible to cheer her on. When she was up here she meet a wonderful man named Jason Mendes and they started dating. Last year Brandi moved home as her parents where going through a separation, but she just couldn't stay away from Lloydminster and Jason. She moved back up and needed a place to stay and we opened are home up to her. She has been living with us ever since September, and got to hear the amazing news when Jason purposed on Christmas Day. She has been planning hard every since for her Wedding day, and that day was today.

She looked beyond beautiful, she took my breath away. Macie was of course in heaven seeing Brandi in her beautiful dress. I was honoured when Brandi asked to wear my veil as she didn't have one. The ceremony was short and sweet. In the evening we headed to the College where the reception was held. They had a delicious meal and great program and then some dancing. Macie and Wade loved it and Wade kind of stole the show dancing his heart out, all the while Macie followed Brandi around like a puppy dog. Brandi was so good about it and danced with her whenever she could. Brandi kind of won over Macie's heart when she moved in with us and Brandi has been such a good surrogate Auntie to her. We will be so sad to lose her as a room mate but so excited for her and this next step in her life.
