It had rained off and on all day. Travis and I were out at the car getting something for Belle and he said something about hoping it stopped raining. I told him not to worry about it - his brother wouldn't let it rain out the wedding.

As the wedding party was putting on their corsages, Ashley came downstairs to make sure everything was a go. As she walked down the stairs - I looked outside and saw the sun shining through the window of the castle. I told her to go look outside and she'd see Robert's gift to her. As she walked towards the window she started to cry and asked if it was a rainbow and I told her - even better sweetheart - it's the sun It only poked through the clouds for a few moments and we didn't see it again that day - but it never rained another drop.

Between that and the emery board, there was NO DOUBT that our loved ones were there with us and it made it just that more perfect a day
