We've been pretty busy lately, and I haven't had much time to post, but part of the reason is because our children were in a wedding!
I used to work with a man when I was in my W*lt D*sney W*rld career days - we were in different departments but became friends. He was older, and had two daughters who were adopted, both of them born in Korea. Those daughters are young women now, and the younger one was planning to marry a Korean man (born and grew up there, but here for college - his family is still there). He is attending a local college here, and they decided to get married while they were still in school.
The wedding was small, and there was no "wedding party" to speak of, EXCEPT...
... they asked our children to be a flower girl and ring bearer.
Here are the results.
The Bride's family had hired a salonist on wheels to come to the church and do the hair of the ladies of the family. This included the Bride, her mother, sister, and Baby Girl. Our daughter sat very patiently and quietly for the duration -- about a half hour, and 22 bobby pins! These three photos came in in reverse order, but you get the idea.
Baby Girl is checking out her new "do" in the mirror before getting dressed. Wow!
Little Son and Baby Girl, all ready for the big event.
The groom was a lot of fun. He really enjoyed our kids, and he had a great sense of humor and a lot of personality. Here he is, before the ceremony, getting in a picture with our children.
The children made up a third of the receiving line. This was unexpected (by them), but it left them feeling pretty important!
Baby Girl's dress was chosen to look like the Bride's dress.
Waiting for the reception to begin.
They took a picture of our family, as it is not often that we are all dressed up.
This wedding was very nice. We enjoyed it, and so did our children. It was a great experience for them. When the dinner was over, the bride and groom came over and gave our children all the extra mini bubble solution bottles and glow stick bracelets. They were dazzled by all this incredible fun-in-a-box. As we were driving home after the wedding, Little Son could be heard saying: "They [the Bride and Groom] are truly the most generous man and lady I have ever known!"

What a wonderful tribute to the behaviour of your children! And I'm sure your daughter felt so special, and I'm not telling you anything when I say she looked beautiful. Nice picture of the whole family.
