Auntie Tracy & Uncle Andrews' Wedding

Maizie getting ready?

I asked Sofia to put on her tights and come downstairs. Maizie came downstairs a few minutes later like this; a pair of tights on each leg.  She proceeded to put on my heels and clomp around the house.

 But of course there was a fire truck on site.

 It was sunny but very chilly. 

 Sofia and Maizie were flower girls. Ethan and Beckett were ring bearers. The kids did a really great job. Ethan was very serious about his job and Beckett seemed to be too. Sofia and Maizie held hands the whole time.  There was a bit of twirling with the girls but they did a good job.  Ethan and Beckett delivered the rings (via pumpkin) and headed off to sit with their Dad.  Sofia and Maizie needed coaxing away... I had to go up and take them by the hand and lead them back to our seats. Sofia was just standing back watching but Maizie had found herself a spot right in front of the JP and between Tracy and Andrew.

The wedding was lovely and the reception was a lot of fun. It made a big imprint on the girls and all day today they were playing "Marriage". They were taking turns wearing things on their head, veil style, and walking around holding hands.

I had a funny conversation with Maizie tonight.
Maizie "I go Mumma. I play Marriage."
Me "Oh who are you going to marry?"
Maizie "Ummm I marry Ted."
Me "Oh and is Ted tall or short?"
Maizie "Ted tall"
Me "and what colour hair does Ted have? Black, yellow, brown?"
Maizie "Ummm blue 'air"
Me "OH! and what colour eyes does Ted have?"
Maizie "Ummm pink. Ted 'as pink eyes"
Me "I think we are going to have to talk to Daddy about this Ted character before you rush off and get married!"

The odd thing is we don't know anybody named Ted.  Most names around here are 'reused' names eg. Sofias favourite stuffies are Uncle Andrew the panda bear and Tracy the cat.  I don't know where Ted came from. How fantastic for a couple of little girls to participate in their Aunt and Uncles wedding.
