And here they are pre-hair makeover. Here's what I know about doing hair - zero. Thankfully one of the bridesmaid actually worked in a salon and took pity on us.
We arrived way early for pictures. Why is it wedding pictures take for-e-ver?? All those poses and planned 'spontaneity'. Let me say, Maggie's smile on demand is in serious need of work. Her mouth contorts like she's at the dentist waiting for a dental dam to be placed. Exhibit A:
This was Maggie's first gig and Georgia's third. We weren't too worried about Maggie's performance since she had Georgia to watch. Que the music and here they come. Georgia is all smiles lightly tossing her petals down the middle of the aisle. Then comes Maggie. She is literally staring down anyone who dares make eye contact of more than 5 seconds. She goes side to side hunting down those brave souls and tosses petals in their direction with a bit of 'in your face' to her throw. She stopped and changed direction at one point.
When she finally made it to the front she stood by Georgia and shoved her basket at her. Of course Georgia shoved it back. The prayer starts. Maggie does not want her basket. More shoving in Georgia's direction. More pushing back by Georgia. Thankfully the prayer was long and they worked it out. Maggie was stuck with her basket.
Everyone commented on 'how cute your girls are'. It made me feel old.
Being a flower girl seems to be some sort of rite of passage. I'm glad they had this honor at my sweetest cousin's wedding. Much love and happiness to the bride and groom.
