Aunt Meredith's Wedding

Last week while GiGi & Daideo were still in town, Aunt Meredith and Uncle Chris got married.  And the best part of all was I got to be a flower girl!  I got to wear a beautiful white dress, just like Meredith.  I called it my Elsa dress because it was beautiful like Elsa's dress.  I had sparkly blue Elsa shoes, too, and Meredith's friend Jenae even put braids in my hair just like Elsa!  

I got to the church early with GiGi so I could get dressed and take pictures with everyone.  I did a pretty good job holding still and taking pictures before the wedding.

I love it!  It's so sparkly!
All ready!

I got to hold Mommy's bouquet!
Then we had some time to play before the wedding.  I had fun playing and reading books with Knox, the ring bearer, and Sally, the other flower girl.  I got to meet them the day before at the bridal lunch we had at our house and at the rehearsal at the church that night (that's where you go and practice for the wedding so everyone knows what they're supposed to do).

After playing for a while, it was time to get lined up for the wedding!  Mommy and the other bridesmaids had beautiful blue dresses, and they got to walk in first.  Then it was my turn to go with Sally and Knox right before Aunt Meredith and Papa.  My job and Sally's job was to drop flowers from our baskets in the aisle for Aunt Meredith to walk on, and Knox's was to carry the rings on his pillow.  We did a great job, better than the rehearsal the night before even!  Check us out:


After the wedding, we had to stay to take some more pictures.  I was pretty tired of taking pictures by then and didn't want to do anymore, so everyone had to bribe me by singing "Let it Go" and giving me bunny crackers to hold still for the pictures.  We got a few more good ones, and then it was finally time to go to the party!  I sat at a table with GiGi and Daideo so Mommy and Daddy could sit with the rest of the wedding party.  I got to eat yummy macaroni and cheese and applesauce for dinner.  After dinner, I had lots of fun running around with Daideo, dancing with Daddy, and looking at all the pretty lights and decorations.

Time to go home!
The party was really fun, but by 8:30 or 9 I was super tired from my busy day being Elsa the flower girl!  GiGi and Daideo and I went home, and I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car and GiGi had to change me out of my dress and into my jammies while I was sleeping!  Being a flower girl was so much fun, and I'm so glad GiGi and Daideo were here to help and take care of me!
