We went to a wedding today. the first one we’ve been to in a looooooong time. I guess all out friends got married around the same time, and now we are seeing the next generation have at it, or maybe it’s just that we don’t have a lot of young singles in our church.
Anyway, we all got dressed up this morning and that in itself was a hoot seeing as most of what we own is bought at Superstore from the Joe collection for under $5…gotta love those cheap t-shirts.
 The bride and groom looked like babies, beautiful, lovely young babies, but babies none the less, made me feel terribly old with my 4 kids and all dressed up so “Mom” like….
They ceremony was nice too, not too short and lot too long, but try keeping a 9 month old quiet and also one little wriggly 7 year old still and quiet…it’s a recipe for a disaster.
We were most of the way through the ceremony and this couple had decided that the first act they would do as a couple was to wash each other’s feet as a sign of respect and love.
It’s not my cup of tea, but that has a lot to do with the fact that I CAN’T STAND FEET!
Baby feet are okay,and my kids feet (once they’ve been washed, I mean REALLY washed) are okay, sometimes, but most of the time – I have a foot aversion that starts somewhere about the time that baby’s turn into small children, and the feet get dirty and stinky and just plain yucky.
Well, who knew that you could pass a foot aversion on to your children, because as the bride knelt in a loving act of respect towards her new husband and gently while gazing adoringly into his eyes removes his shoe and sock from his right foot………Jeremy rather loudly whispers, “She’s touching his foot……THAT IS SO DISGUSTING.”
This was said loud enough that the grooms brother who happened to be sitting across the aisle from us and 3 rows back…..busts a gut stifleing his laughter…he is doing the whole “lips pressed together, red faced, shoulder jiggling, clutching his sides, trying to hold himself together” thing.
It was awesome….that’s my boy. Of course, we looked at him and told him to not be rude and to try to whisper a little quiter, but truth be told, I was thinking the same thing, and trying to imagine myself doing that to Jon and well……I just couldn’t go there…..FEET! Yuck!
Too funny! I love that kid.
Love the way you guys include your kids in things like that tho! How are kids ever going to feel comfortable in those situations, if parents always leave them at home! You guys rock! ANd you set a great example for other young couples to INCLUDE kids in things – not leave them at home, or use them as an excuse to not go to things! I lvoe the way you have your kids at things like this, and the wedding shower..the garden make over – awesome parenting!!
that is soooo funny! can just picture his face as he was “whispering”!! hehe
HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
