Marry Me

Mary Haddox was a flower girl in a wedding for her preschool teacher "Ms. Katie" and Mr. Jason.  She and her BFF Maddie were both flower girls.  Maddie's mother and I were not sure if the world was ready for both of them.....At the same time......In the same place.....Doing the same thing.  But Ms. Katie had no opposition!

During the rehearsal Friday night, they did not disappoint.  From basically climbing the walls to chasing each other, to arguing about making a mess-they were the life of the party.  As they were practicing, Mary Haddox would throw some petals down, and Maddie would tell her "Stop Mary-you make a mess" and MH would reply "I NOT".  And this continued down the aisle during the whole rehearsal.  Chrissy (Maddie's mom) and I were hysterical.

 Sometimes she can be bossy...(I have no idea where that came from) I can only imagine what she is telling the wedding director in this picture...Or maybe I don't want to imagine......

 Here is where the little "tiff" came in on making a mess.  As you can see, MH looks proud, Maddie is in disbelief.

 But, they obviously got over it really quick and kept it classy, because once they made it down the aisle, they were giggling at each other.

Make yourself at home girls.  Don't mind us, its just a wedding...no big deal.


They ended up doing wonderfully with very little disruption. 

 Chrissy and I were making the "shhh" face..Betcha never would have guessed that...

This was during the Lords Prayer.  Maybe Nick and I are doing something right....

Of course, as parents of toddlers in a wedding, Nick, Chrissy, and I were more nervous than the bride and groom I do believe.

MH and Maddie made a new friend, Emily.  Emily was the bride's cousin who was also the maid of honor and who also I'm sure by the end of the night wished Katie never would have asked MH and Maddie to be in the wedding.  We even had to intervene during the rehearsal dinner because MH and Maddie would not leave her and her date alone.  They pretty much followed her around and did everything she did. 

Take a look at the video.

The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. We wish Mrs. Katie and Mr. Jason a lifetime of happiness!  Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day.
