The Flower girl and the Cup Bearer

A few weeks ago the kids were in their first wedding. Elijah was asked to be the ring bearer 2 years ago (yes, it was a LONG engagement) and Sadie had to step in when the other flower girl couldn't do it.

Elijah kept calling himself the Cup Bearer. Guess all those Bible stories are getting him all confused.

The rehearsal went okay. The kids were hungry and tired, but they did a good job...

Then came the rehearsal of the ceremony. Sadie was not at all interested...

Those steps are just the right size...

Luckily we were able to get Sadie to take a nap the day of the wedding (since the wedding didn't start until 7pm) but she was a grouch when she woke up. She was refusing to put her dress on and was just in a horrible mood. As soon as we got to the church building we gave her a little pick-me-up...Seven Up...

A quick shot with the bride just before the ceremony...

Aimee walked them to the aisle. As soon as Sadie saw how many people were staring at her I immediately saw her face change...

"Please don't leave me Aimee"...

We got her to drop one handful of flowers and then she came straight to me to sit down. Elijah did great. He walked all the way down the aisle and stood with the groomsmen for about 5 minutes then joined us to sit down.




The bride did great...

I think Sadie had 4 cups of punch while we waited on the new couple...

My babies are precious...red mustaches and all.

We spent the weekend being spoiled by Bibby and John. I didn't take any pictures until Sunday morning when I caught them on the porch swing. Bibby was singing their favorite song "Zippidy Doo Da" and they were just cackling. Too cute...

Their first wedding was a success!
