It was the very first wedding I was in, my cousin Jenny's (who I don't think I have seen since then!) as the flower girl. The memory of this day makes me laugh a lot. I was so excited to be in a wedding and wear this really pretty dress. At least that's probably how my parents psyched me up for it. But as the most shy kid ever, (seriously, I was) I was cool with all the rehearsals and stuff. But I totally remember by the time all the people were there, I was sitting in the back of the sanctuary determined that I was done. I said, "mom, I'm not going to do this part ." That's when this picture was taken. My cousin Chad who was the ring bearer was sitting next to me with a look on his face like, "what is wrong with her!" and this "strange lady" with red hair and a ugly 80's tealish color dress was sitting there telling me that they needed me and that I "would be the prettiest one up there". I don't remember any more than that, but I guess I must have ended up going through with it. But there are other pictures with the wedding party where I had an angry, "get me out of here" look on my face...okay, not that bad, but I was not smiling.
Strange childhood memories....a fun one though.....:) I loved that dress and cried the day it wouldn't fit any more!
