Last September, I was in Morgan and Nick’s wedding. When she asked me to be a part of it, I cried. I love her so much. Morgan moved into our neighborhood the year I was born. She would come over and play with me. When she was old enough, she became my babysitter. Then she would become my gymnastics coach for Special Olympics. But the most important thing, she is my big sister. We may not be related by blood, but our love for each other makes it one. Thank you, Morgan, for letting me be a part of your big day and for letting me be your little sister 💕 @morglillehei @jmphotomn @dellwoodbarnweddings #bigsisterforever #lovehersomuch #weddingparty
