Wedding Bells

Here's a photo of the latest obsession for Beth and Amy. They are both going to be acting as flower girls for Aunt Mary's wedding on Saturday, and the excitement is reaching a fever pitch. Their concept of time is a bit blurry, but they both are well aware of the fact that the event they have been waiting for is almost here. Amy asks constantly "how many more tomorrows until I am going to be walking down the aisle with my flower basket?"

But the shoes. Allow me to explain. The girls have been begging for "very dressy white shoes" to wear with their flower girl dresses, so we searched long and hard to find the perfect ones. On Tuesday morning we finally located them. The inside of the shoe has a sparkling silver lining, and although I have warned them that no one will really see that part of the shoe, it remains their favorite part. "We GLITTER!" they exclaim with glee.

The shoes have been on their feet continuously since yesterday morning. They slept with the shoes at the foot of their beds for the past two nights. The shoes sit on the kitchen chairs next to them during meals. They are never more than 3 feet away from their "wedding shoes". It's true love.

The shoes have a 1-inch heel, and I will confess to feeling more than a little nervous about their ability to walk in them on Saturday without tripping. But they certainly have been getting a lot of practice, so hopefully it all goes well. Wish us luck!
