Wedding bells

Our friends M and Green Socks are getting married in July. July 4th to be exact. Our preacher thinks it's funny that they are getting married on Independence Day. You'd have to know my preacher. Anyway. This past Sunday morning as I was on my way to pick up the kiddies from their classes, M stopped me and asked if it would be alright if C was in their wedding-as the ring bearer. I said sure. C and Green Socks are good friends; both my kids really like the both of them. I think the both of them really like my kids too. But I asked if M and Green Socks would "officially" ask C that night--themselves. Sure.

Funny side note, as we were leaving church that morning, M's dad stopped us and said "C, I hear you are going to be in a wedding." C is going "huh?" and I'm going "Shhh!" We quickly changed it to "I hear your birthday is soon!" and C was none the wiser.

So that night, C was officially asked to be in the wedding and he said yes. Later as they were singing a song during the service, C slipped over to them and said "I changed my mind. I don't want to be in your wedding. I'm too shy." What?!?! I heard all this after the service--I was in nursery that night. On the way home, we talked to C and explained what it all entailed. I don't think he was too sure what his part would be. And I told him that he is not shy. :) I told him it was a privilege to be in a wedding and the reason he was asked was because he is a good friend of the 2 of them.

So after we got home, I had C call M and tell her "I would be happy to be in your wedding." She got such a kick out of the whole thing. Now he is all kinds of excited. I have heard nothing but "wedding, wedding, wedding" Now I have to listen to this for the next 8 months. Oh dear!
