Wedding Reactions

James:
I must do a good job at the wedding because I am the flower boy (Mommy and Daddy keep on telling me that means ring bearer) and if I do a good job going down the aisle then I will get ice cream and I will pick chocolate. I did a good job at the rehearsal last night, and now I only need to go down the aisle one more time and I will get ice cream and the aisle isn't too long, it's just a little bit long. And when I go down the aisle with Abby I will carry George in his suit, even though George just likes to wear his red shirt. And I am dressed up fancy too and I am glad that I get to wear socks and don't have to wear sandals, because sometimes Mommy makes me wear sandals when I go to church, and I like socks the best. And Mommy and Daddy keep on tucking my shirt in and they didn't like it when I got a grass stain on my pants even though it was an accident that I dived into the grass in my dress clothes.
Now it is time for the reception party at the barn and OH BOY there are goats and slides and tires and a bounce pillow and lots of food, but I don't want to sit inside and eat food, I want to go out and play on all this fun stuff, and Mommy and Daddy keep on taking turns being out here with me but they must be all confused because it looks like they are excited to go inside and be with all of the people instead of playing on the playground! I hope that none of these goats eat George. Now I have found croquet and I will learn the rules so that I can play it, and I have decided that Owen is too little to play. Now it is time for cake and I will eat CHOCOLATE cake because chocolate is my favorite.

Owen:
Church! Aunt Martha! Nama! Papa! Uncles and Aunts and Cousins!
I wonder if there will be dogs?
Everyone is fancy. I am fancy too. Where is James? Mommy is at the piano, because that is what church means. Daddy is wearing a suit, so will he drive away for a concert? I will sit on him and try to take his pens.
Now I will climb this pew. I am a good climber.
This lady looks like Nama, but it isn't Nama. I will take her bracelets off. I wonder how they would feel in my mouth.
These people say they are taking my picture, but they aren't using their phones! I don't think the black boxes with lights will work.
Now there are goats. I will make goat sounds and be a goat too.
Now there is caramel popcorn. I will eat this whole cup. I need another cup. I will eat this new cup. Now I need another cup. I will eat this new cup. Now I need another cup. I will eat this new cup, but I dropped it all over the ground. I will eat all the popcorn off the ground. Now I need another cup. I will eat all of this cup.
Now we are playing on the playground. I cannot climb where James is going, so I will shout at him as loud as I can.
I wonder if there are any dogs here?
Now someone gave me cake. I'd better put all of it in my mouth at once.
I don't want to go to bed, I'm not sleepy!
