Liam got to go to his very first wedding this past weekend. Lindsay, Liam's babysitter, was the bride and Liam was so excited to go to her wedding. As it was his first wedding we had to explain a few things to him.
1) You don't get to wear your shark shirt to a wedding. Nice clothes are a must.
2) The wedding is not at Lindsay's house.
3) You will see your friends and can say hi but there is no playing with them during the ceremony.
4) The bride will be wearing a fancy dress. Not her usual attire at daycare-yoga pants and sweats. As she was coming down the aisle I told Liam, "here she comes!" To which he said, "Where? I don't see her." "Liam, she's the one in the white dress."
5) Giving of the rings. Liam was actually paying quite a bit of attention to the ceremony so during the ring part, I pointed to my wedding ring and then to Evan's. I'm not sure if he got it but it was worth a try.
6) After the wedding it is perfectly acceptable to go around to all of your friends and lift up your sweater to show them that you are wearing your very awesome shark shirt.
7) Tell the bride she is beautiful. Always.
8) Remind your Mom that if you see any of your friends that she can't hold your hand anymore. (yes, he actually said this, and yes, I wanted to cry)
Some good rules to remember for your next wedding that you may go to. You will see your friends but can't play with them until after the wedding and go ahead and wear that favorite shirt underneath your church clothes. Just remember no one can know about it until the reception.
