It was hard to call Emma the "Flower Girl". I wanted to call her the "Flower Child" (yeah, i know, that doesn't work) or the "Flower Baby" but none of those fit. I kept hearing my voice scream in my head "But she's NOT a Flower GIRL! She's a Flower BABY!"But looking at these photos, well, you can see that she isn't a Flower Baby. She's not even a Flower Toddler
The truth is, Emma was the very pretty Flower Girl at Haley and Mike's wedding.
Haley is the oldest daughter of one of my best friends, Janice and her husband, Burt. Mike, the groom, is in the military, who after a tour or two in Afghanistan, is now stationed in New York. Haley, bless her heart, has never really driven in the snow or has ever really been too far away from her little town home. It is fun to see their lives start together and to see how they and their families have come together to know and love each other.
But back to the Flower
I was worried that Emma would be "the" reason that folks remembered Haley and Mike's wedding. Because, face it, at 3 1/2, well, being a Flower Girl can be a lot of stress. But Haley and Mike's wedding will be fondly remembered in years to come due to a very, very beautiful bride, a handsome groom and the love that they have for each other. The love from their family and friends surrounded them on their day. It truly was a beautiful day for Haley and Mike and their families.
And that's just how a pretty wedding in a little country church in Georgia should be remembered.
NOTE: Only two photos of the above were taken by me (the one of Emma and Robert walking away and her eating a snack). The others were taken by Lauren Sanders and Melinda Ragan.

Oh my. She is growing up, and beautiful I may add. We want them to stay our babies forever, and then they go and do something like grow up! Well, she looks like she was a lovely flower girl.
