A Real Life Princess



From the time Rachel could walk and talk, she loved horses, as most little girls do. She would run across the yard as a four year old with her pretend horses, "Strawberry and Black." (She kept them in her pocket when she wasn't riding.) At ten years old, she worked at a rescue barn in exchange for riding lessons. That ended up by her getting her horse, Wolfgang, which was the love of her life until last year.


She had always dreamed of riding away from her wedding in a horse drawn carriage. She had to make a few sacrifices to make it happen, but it was well worth it. It ended the night beautifully! During the reception, all of the little girls were called to meet Rachel at the door and she surprised them with a ride in the carriage with her and Adrian. I have heard from many moms that it was the highlight of their daughter's life. One little girl said that Rachel was prettier than any Disney princess.
