Those of you who have talked with me are familiar with the fact I never touch the cake at a wedding I’m working, even when I’m a personal friend or even family of the bride. Well, for the first time in five years, I left the camera in the hotel room, and I even ate the cake.
The occasion? My much loved brother Tim and his wonderful bride Nadia got married on Sunday, and for the first time ever, I was a groomsman. Best of all, my oldest, Caroline got to be a flower girl, got to dance with Daddy at a wedding, grew up faster than her parents ever believed possible.
Not that Declan and Audrey didn’t try to participate– Declan tried to march down the aisle, and when his sister got chatty, he and his twin were picked up and relocated to the back of the sanctuary. Audrey then chimed in loud enough for everyone to hear, “Bye!” Later, as Nadia was giving her half of the vows, Audrey sensed what type of life change she was in for, being married to Uncle Tim, because a little voice started insisting, “No, no, no, no, noooooooooo!” (Luckily, no one other than Audrey’s parents heard her.)
Anyway, I did take a couple of shots of Caroline in her flower girl outfit before we left for the wedding. Enjoy!
