Flower (Girl) Power

Dear Lila,

We went to another wedding last night--this time it was my cousin Sarin's and you were one of the flower girls!


I've been to a lot of weddings where the flower girls froze and had to be led/dragged down the aisle by their mothers but this was not one of those weddings. If you were scared, you didn't show it because you walked down the aisle completely by yourself with more than a hundred strangers staring at you and you didn't miss a beat. You did forget to drop the petals on the ground as you walked but otherwise, you were cool and collected as you marched to the alter and then stood still next to the bridesmaids and the other flower girl, none of whom you'd met before. Daddy and I were seated at the back, so you couldn't even see us over all of the other guests, but you were fine up there on your own and we were so proud of you for being such an awesome flower girl.

At the reception, you once again danced up a storm and you and GuhGaw stayed up until we left at midnight!

Love,
Mom
