Our Flower Girl

Originally I was not going to have a Flower Girl, but I am so glad that I changed my mind.  It was so fun to get to share the experience with my cousins' little girl.  I loved hearing about how much she loved brides and weddings once I asked her to be my Flower Girl.  I loved getting emails from her when I sent her pictures of her dress.  I loved making her gifts and finding cute things to add to her gift bag.  It was so great to have a little girl who could have, what her mom has told me, was one of the best days of her life on what was also mine.

Fiona is the most well behaved little girl I've ever met.  She sits up straight and has no problem talking to adults and she's not the type to run around or make lots of noise.  She's 5, going on 15, and she is the sweetest...

She listens and follows directions so well, and she did her best to keep our Ring Bearer under control.  He would not let go of her hand and no matter how fast he tried to run, she held on and kept him from sprinting down the aisle.

The day of the ceremony, she loved all of the stuff that she got to do with the big girls.

She went to tea...

and got to have her hair and makeup done...

She also had to make sure she knew what she was doing, so she went to the hall and practiced.

She really liked the wedding coloring book I made her and her mom told me not too long ago that she plays tea party every day with the tea set that my mom found for me to put in her gift bag.  She also carries the purses that I gave here wherever she goes and loved the fact that she had a purse for her Flower Girl camera... I still can't wait to see the pictures she took that day.

It was so fun to share this day with her and to give her memories that she'll hopefully have forever.  I can't wait to make her a photo book of her own, probably a Christmas present, that she can have to look back on that day.  I can't wait until the day that she gets married...
