So Maddie got to be a flower girl in Becca's wedding, and she was so excited! I had a friend come over to fix Maddie's and my hair. Maddie's hair is slippery and fly-away and hard to fix, and I was concerned it would fall out if I tried to fix it, but with my friend's help her hair stayed put--a success indeed! It was a special time for Maddie and me to have together, to get dressed up, have our hair fixed, paint our nails, be with lots of ladies and spend the whole weekend together. Maddie just loved it all! What a special memory. Becca, thank you for asking us both to be in your wedding.
The other little flower girl was Sydney, a daughter of one of the groomsmen. She and Maddie are just a few weeks apart in age, and they hit it off the night of the rehearsal and dinner. They quickly became fast friends.
The girls did a great job walking down the aisle, although the further down they went, the slower they walked until they were barely inching forward, the pianist launched into yet another refrain of music and the crowd started chuckling. The 2 year old ring bearer William finally had enough and walked right around them, bypassing them to the end of the aisle.
While I was involved in bridal party pictures, many of which did not include the two cutest girls there, Braden had some fun taking pictures. Maddie and Sydney were just adorable! Those little flower girls steal the show.
One funny story: at the rehearsal dinner Becca and Seth were thanking each member of their bridal party and giving us each a gift. Becca thanked me and Maddie, and Maddie walked up with me to receive our gifts. She was so excited to get a gift and asked if she could open it. We said yes, and she opened the gift, saw a locket and 3 rings and exclaimed,
"JYEW-OLS! Mommy, she gave me JYEW-OLS!" Laughter all around. Maddie wore two of her 'jyew-ols' for the wedding.
