"Okay, I can't get this ring untied!"
Welcome to the ring bearer and flower girl from my wedding. Although my marriage ended 18 years later, there were happy memories, and this photo is one of them. Yes, "1980's mauve" as this little boy's mom reminisced in her Facebook comment to me. But what's crazy is this little boy is getting married this weekend. The little girl pictured, his cousin, is also attending. The young groom is an attorney and living a successful life in Delaware. The little girl has lived abroad, speaks fluent Spanish and has since returned to the Midwest to teach at UWM. When did life pass me by so quickly? Ironically, these kids...well, now adults...are from my ex's family, but I still adore them. Of course, we will not be in attendance, but I so wish them the best. It is such an amazing time in life...all the beginnings, the firsts, the possibilities, the excitement. No matter how much bad stuff happens in your life, a beautiful wedding is always a grand, hopeful, inspiring event...a true passage.
And, I'm sorry, but 80's mauve or not, are those not two adorable kids?!!!
