Wedding Attire

Today in the mail came boxes for the children and inside those boxes were invitations to take part in a wedding as ring bearer and flower girl. That's right - Kelton and Kaylen, along with their two cousins will be walking down the aisle of my brother's wedding in August.

This has been a long anticipated and much desired invitation and they are both thrilled with their parts. Kelton will share his ring bearing responsibilities with his (almost) 4 year old cousin and Kaylen will share her duties with her 8 year old cousin.

They are all very excited.

The kids had to try on their "costumes" immediately and then I tried (and failed) to get a good photo of them. After the outside photos Kaylen wanted to practice being a flower girl. After all, Kelton has been a ring bearer before (Dakota's mom's wedding when Kelton was 18 months old) but she has never been a flower girl. I found her a basket and then she picked some flowers from the yard and put down blankets to make an "aisle" in the living room. She had so much fun and I think she feels ready now! :)

Kelton, for his part, groaned and complained about how it "isn't fair that Kaylen gets to wear a dress and sandles" while he "has to wear long pants, long sleeves and coat AND black shoes!" I couldn't help but laugh because what woman hasn't been envious about how easy men have it when it comes to dressing up? Throw on a jacket, shirt and tie and you're good to go. Not so easy for the rest of us. Sure made me smile though. :)

how cute! I was a flower girl when I was 3ish and Audrey wears the flower girl dress. I see Kaylen loving her flower girl dress.

Mikayla is very distraught that Kaylen is practicing. Parker, on the other hand, has nothing to worry about. I mean really, how hard is it to be the bear?

So cute!!! And yes, since we are attending a weeding soon, R and I have had the "you have it so easy" discussion.

They're going to have so much fun being in the wedding. When in August is it? My son is getting married August 15th.

To be wed is one of the most memorable events in a person's life.Having such accesory like cufflink, is one good idea that a couple should consider. One of the most unforgettable moments in a persons life is his/her wedding.
