Last night we attended a wedding for our friends John and Jen. Kenzie was a flower girl, along with one other little girl and a boy who was ring bearer. Two 2 year olds and one 3 year old. It was interesting. Though we had a rehearsal on Thursday night, we had no idea what to expect when it came time to actually walking for the ceremony. I sat up in front, so that Kenzie would see me and come towards me, while John stayed in back to help get her going. The other girl started walking just fine, but Kenzie didn't want to walk with her. Instead she was behind her and then decided to sprint down the aisle laughing the whole time like it was a game. The ring bearer ended up coming down with his mom. Kenzie never saw me, and all three kids were up in front and we had to basically pull them out of the way so that the bride could come down the aisle. I ended up just pulling Kenzie out of the way, then once the bride passed I quickly snuck out of the room. It was chaotic, but everyone seemed to love the kids even though they didn't really do what they needed to do.

There was a cocktail hour and then dinner. After dinner, the dancing began and Kenzie was again star of the show, dancing it up with the other flower girl and everyone on the dance floor. It was the cutest thing and we loved seeing how happy and excited she was. She danced through several songs before we finally decided we needed to get home. My parents were watching Aubrey and John and I were just really tired from the lack of sleep we've had over the last 10 days. Kenzie didn't want to leave, but fell asleep moments after getting in the car.

It was a fun wedding, and we're happy for our friends.
