On Sunday morning as I walked into our Sunday School class, I was greeted by a sweet smiling friend holding a beautiful bouquet of tulips (my favorite!). She gave me the flowers and asked if I would allow Grace to be a flower girl in her upcoming wedding. Hmmm…let me think a minute…of course!
When I tried to explain it to Grace later, she didn’t fully understand, but she did get three major points that she was VERY excited about:
1. She will wear a pretty dress. (Really pretty…I saw it online!)
2. Her hair will be curly. (Rollers are a BIG incentive these days.)
3. She will look like a princess. (This was especially exciting when the mother-of-the-bride mentioned a possible tiara).
I’ve already started praying that she won’t freak out and ruin the wedding, but I really think she’ll be okay when the time comes. She’ll be five years old and we’ll practice a lot!
Honestly, the most exciting part of this wedding will be the sweet man and woman that are joining their lives together and starting a family of faith. It is rare and precious to see a couple striving to honor God in every detail of preparing and planning for marriage.

Larry,
You're going to be a very dapper-looking father-of-the-bride!
