The other night I once again sat and watched 27 Dresses on TV, a movie about weddings and bridesmaids, they reel me every time, and I am a firm believer in the fact that there is no such thing as a bad wedding. Great food, music, drinks and beautiful outfits are always on offer, if you can't have a good time with that than it's not the wedding, it's you.
A few months ago when the mail man delivered some mail I just knew it was an invite before I even opened it.
Classy stationery and shaped so unlike a bill that you just knew it was
something good to open. A wedding invite is always exciting to open!
The girls were invited along to attend the ceremony and then
to spend the evening with their cousins and Great Nana. We considered just
leaving them home with another baby sitter but they insisted they were keen to
go.
Turn the heat up to 40 degrees, get yourself to the edge of
a river bed and Popps was just not happy. She whispered to me, “If I knew it
would be this boring I would have stayed home.”
I followed this with mutterings of too bad, get off me, it’s
too hot for you to sit on my knee, no I don’t have a drink for you.
All the while Immy had taken up one of the few seats, an
aisle seat for herself no less and was excitedly holding her posy of rose
petals, for whatever they might be needed for. Her dress was swirly, her hair
in a braid.
When the bride finally approached Immy just could not
believe her eyes. It was a real princess. In a really big white dress and at
the front there was a prince. “It’s just like in my story book” she squealed.
Her eyes never left the bride for the whole ceremony; she
threw rose petals and stroked the dress and the veil like they were made of
pure gold fairy wings.
Have you always loved weddings, do they make you cry?
That shot of Immy when she sees the bride is bringing a tear to my eye! What a beautiful shot. And yes, I've cried at every single wedding I've been to, and at my own I was a blubbering mess when I walked down the aisle!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sooky lah lah when it comes to weddings. I now love outdoor weddings because I can then have an excuse to wear sunglasses. I love the photos of your girls - Popps with the hot, bothered and bored look - you captured it perfectly. Immy - what a perfect photo. Well done on capturing it when you did as it tells a story all by itself.
ReplyDeleteThose last 2 photos are killing me. You captured childhood innocence right there. Magic

Love the photos! All of them. But the best is her hand on her heart, mouth agape, as Immy watches the bride. I hope you give the bride a copy of this picture. X
