Hope Stanford is one of my oldest friends. We met in Ruston when she was only 6 and I was 12. We lived next door to each other in the same duplex and our families became life long friends instantly. Her and her now husband live in Jackson where they got married just a few weeks ago. I went down to Jackson a few days before the wedding to help her, her mom, and my mom and some friends get ready for this big event. We had such a good time. The reason I write this blog in orange is because that was Hope’s color of the weekend. Everything was beautiful!
We made baskets, decorated the reception hall and just had a blast with family and friends. The funniest thing that sticks out in my mind was the day before the wedding my mom, Claire, and I went to Luckett Lodge and finish decorating…we put white paper lanterns everywhere. Guess who was the one to climb all the bushes and trees to put these lanterns around the grounds….that would be ME! But I had fun and my saying was, “anything for Hopey!” because she is like a little sister to me and I would probably do anything for her. That night Alan came into town and we had a party out at the lodge with a band and everything. People where dancing, visiting and just having a good ole time.

Hope and Nathan Vancil were married outside under a gazebo at 10am. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was fun!
Alan and I spent the rest of the weekend with friends in Jackson. It was great seeing my family and friends over a fun filled weekend. And we want to congratulate the happy couple…Nathan and Hope Vancil! We love you!!
