anyone who knows, Maddie and her name sake Madeline!!
 

hey all who know about my sister we lost in October, and how her daughter and fiance had a wedding blessing done when my sister was near her death. They dressed in the gown and had a pretty brides mom gown on her.

anyhow, this niece of mine is now planning her wedding in Feb. she just called earlier tonight to ask my Maddie to be the flower girl. At first I was like, hey do you recall her age, you did just see her for funeral she is pretty young.(not two till May)

she said yes, but she wants her moms namesake, and also was thinking how her mom was in the birth of Maddie with me.. so wants her in her wedding.

she plans to have ring bearer pulling maddie in a wagon up the aisle. hehe

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it touched my heart for Lisa to call and ask, hugss all, sarah

Awww Sarah! That's just beautiful!

I am so looking forward to seeing those photos after the wedding! :D

I think that would be wonderful!

Just hoping whatever they find out on my dad, that what the plan is doesnt make him miss the wedding and all....thinking of him soo much...hugss and thanks Kaola...tahnks again for the cadr...ahh time for bde as my typiiong is now gone...hugssa..sarah:p

That's a great idea Sarah. I hope it works out!

That will be a beautiful tribute to your sister Sarah. I bet you can pull it off with little Maddie, guests will not expect a perfect performance from a 2 year old, so it will be lovely!!! Can't wait to see those pictures.

OH, How very sweet, Sarah. Thank you for sharing....and be sure to share the pics too..:)

My grandaughter was the flower girl and she was about 1. My daughter was a bridesmaid so she carried her down the aisle. During a prayer I slipped up to her and got her and she sat with me for the rest of the ceremony and her Mom picked her up during the recessional.

awwwww, that's so sweet, Sarah !!

Maddie will do well, I'm sure...

:)

funny thing... I no longer cry at funerals, but I DO cry at weddings.

guess I'm *empty* of sorrow-tears, but still have plenty of tears of JOY left ??

well, maybe that's what comes of being an old fart... (lol, pushing 52 here, but FEEL 82)

:hug: to Sarah, and Maddie, and Lisa.

Aw that's so sweet. And I learned a little trick when my DD was flower girl when she was 2. If you have a basket of flowers for her to throw.... We tied a couple of small toys to strings inside of the basket. She was tossing the flower petals out of the basket to get to her toy. We also kept the string short enough that the toy didn't come out of the basket. Worked like a charm.


Of course once she reached the end of the aisle she realized she had gotten petals everywhere and tried to run back and clean them up. But it was cute. And I agree with HJmom no one will expect a flawless performance from a child.

thats really cool Sarah

very sweet ........happy new year dear sarah!!!!!:hug:

That sounds wonderful! Madeline will do just fine and it will be a wedding to be remembered!

How sweet and I love the wagon idea!

i think it's a wonderful idea.
