I have mentioned before that 2012 would be the year of engagements. My dear friend Emily got engaged on New Years Eve to Brent. They are perfect for each other. Emily and I are great friends and old roomies from our days in Starkville. I couldn't be happier for her and Brent. Oh and I know what you are thinking...I am not a bridesmaid in this wedding! Emily and I talked about it a long time ago and she decided I would be her proxy bride during the rehearsal. I am honored to be standing in the place where she will marry her best friend.
