Kids.

No, I'm not prego, nor will I be for many years.  (Calm down, mom.)  This post is about kids in weddings.  I love watching kids in other people's weddings - they trip, they dance around, the kick things, they yell, they get paid to stand still.  It's hilarious to watch these little humans go nuts after putting on a cute and tiny outfit.  They're sent down the aisle with such freedom..."No one is holding my hand, OH MY GOSH I'm going to sprint now!  Then drop-kick this pillow!  Then probably scream a little bit!  YES!"  It is great.

Another darling thing about kids in weddings is this:


Those dresses are absolutely gorgeous.  What sweet little kids.  EVEN BETTER, you can have the kids in your wedding dress according to your wedding venue.  For example, my sister, Kelly, got married in sunny Mexico.  What better ring bearer to have than a pirate?  Yes.  A pirate walked down her aisle...sword attached.  It was genius and really special.  Everyone laughed. What a hoot.


Jeff and I had considered having kiddos in the wedding.  They could wear little Ray Bans and be rock 'n roll - a nod to our venue, the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.  We're just not sure if we'll do it - yes, we have some really cool kids in our lives (cousins' babies!) and yes, they'd be awesomely cool.  Just one of those little decisions that is in the back of my mind!  Anyone have any thoughts???

last time Noah was in a wedding he took a giant poo in his diaper right before it began. It took Allen so long to change it he missed his walk down the aisle. Apparently brides don't wait on ring bearers! But he doesn't poop in his pants anymore so...moral of the story, maybe your kids should be potty trained? :)

Liza Jane did an excellent job as a flower girl a couple years ago...until the actual ceremony started and she did somersaults down the pew. :) Love you!
