Flower Girl Mad Dash

Ann Charlotte was the flower girl last weekend for our good friends Amanda and Nick.

We practiced, practiced and practiced some more for the big day! At the rehearsal-Ann Charlotte was a pro. However, I failed to mention that there would be around 300 people watching her and I don't think she was expecting that!

She took her first two steps and threw some petals. Then she froze and started taking steps backwards (it was breaking my heart because I knew she was terrified). So, I walked up behind her and...

Mommy: Do you see daddy up there? (he was on the second row)
AC: Yes
Mommy: Walk toward Daddy and throw your flowers
AC: No words but a mad dash to the second row-literally a toddler sprint (actually maybe an 18 year-old pro baseball player sprint.)

The saving grace was that Daddy picked her up and gave her a big kiss which melted hearts in the audience.

We are so happy for Amanda and Nick! It was a BEAUTIFUL night (regardless of the flower girl forgetting her petals)! Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Getschman!
