NICOLE AND JOELS WEDDING

On Friday our Niece Nicole Horsford was sealed for time and all eternity in the Hamilton New Zealand Temple.  It was a lovely ceremony in the Temple it was simple, sacred and very spiritual.  It felt so right!  There were  lots of tears of joy in the sealing room and it was so lovely to see a young ambitious but most importantly Faithful  couple starting their life together hand in hand with the lord! 

Nicole is a little bit special to me and I will list a few reasons why below.

Before Keith and I were married she called me 'Aunty' and even asked me to speak at her baptism,  on the program it said ‘Aunty Becky’.  I remember giving that talk at her baptism on the Holy Ghost and remember giving her a Journal to write her special feelings of that day into.

My first Baby (Arama)  was born on her birthday and I remember her placing bids that he would be born on that day.  I hoped he wouldn’t be as I didn’t want to wait that long.  I remember her and her sisters pouring into my hospital room just after I had given birth to say their CONGRATULATIONS.

When Terina was born we lived Rural in Taumarunui,  my mum had had to rush back to Auckland on the day Terina was born as her sister (Aunty Lesley)  was dying.  We wanted someone to be there for us as we had no family down there. We called Nicole and she jumped on the next train and rushed on down.  She missed Terina’s entry into the world by about 5 hours but she spent the first week of Terina’s life with us helping and making life a lot easier for us.  She and her sisters have always been so good with our kids and they love them all dearly, so Arama was stoked to have her there with us.

She is the best baby sitter eva!  Our kids are so gutted to have to say goodbye to here.  

She leaves to live in Perth next Saturday.

She has supported us through many hard times and good times too.  Her and Arama have spent many birthday occasions together.  I must scan some of Aramas first birthday party photos so you can see her there beside him.  They made him a train cake on his first birhday and she had a lovely

 flower cake beside his.

She was also one of my special ‘flower girls’ on our wedding day and that only seems like yesterday but on Friday she changed from a girl into a lady and was a special and beautiful bride herself.  We love you so so much Nicole and  will miss you dearly but we know you have a very special man Joel now to share your exciting life  ahead with.  The thought of not being able to just stop in at your house to see your smiling face whenever I want to makes me so sad but to know Joel is such a great guy who will look after you dearly throughout your life is much more important for your future progression.  

LOVE YOU COLEY XX

What a beautiful Bride!
