Savannah the Flower Girl

Savannah was the flower girl in our old babysitters wedding on May 13. She did a superb job, of course. She promised Jennifer a year ago that she would do it. Then about 3 months ago, when I mentioned it coming up she informed me, "Well, Jennifer just has to find a replacement, because I can't do it." She thought she'd be too nervous. Then the week before the wedding she realized she was going to miss a soccer game because of the wedding and said, "Well, just tell her to change the time." I told her this would probably be her last flower girl gig, because she was getting older and most of our family is married. She wasn't happy about missing soccer, but she had a good attitude, and I do believe she forgot about the game during the whole afternoon. The ring bearer is only2 1/2 and ALL boy. It was going to be Savannah's job to keep him from running. About half way down the isle, while all was going well, he turned around to notice the petals "dropping" out of her basket and said "uh! oh!" They had not practiced with the petals and he didn't realize it was on purpose. It took her a little bit to get him turned around and to the front, but they made it. She later told us that she was sooo nervous when he did that.
