DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?


Ryan's sister Courtney just got married and she and her fiancé asked Charlotte to be their flower girl. 

She was officially a big girl, and even got ready with all of the bridesmaids, getting her hair curled just like they did. When her big moment arrived she walked down the aisle accompanied by her Grandma Veyette, and clutching her basket of rose petals. With Grandma's help she scattered the petals quietly, and very seriously, until she got to the end of the aisle. When she realized we wanted her to sit down at that point, she said "I want to do it again" and proceeded to reverse back up the aisle, picking up the petals as she went. Of course, she got some 'ahh's' from the wedding guests but, thankfully, Grandma managed to corral her into a seat before she could re-live her flower girl moment, or upstage the bridesmaids who were patiently waiting for their turn.

Still, Charlotte was determined that her moment in the spotlight wasn't over yet. As the ceremony commenced, the groomsmen formed a line behind Chanse, whilst the bridesmaids flanked Courtney. It didn't take Charlotte long to notice her Aunts up there in a big long line, holding their flowers and looking beautiful. She obviously liked what she saw because the next thing we knew she'd run to the front and was lined up with the Bridesmaids, trying to steal her Aunt Lizzy's bouquet. When that didn't work she went on to grab each bridesmaid in turn by the hand (there were 6), saying "come on" as she attempted to lead them away. In true toddler fashion she'd had enough of sitting still and now it was time to go and play. To her bewilderment nobody was budging, but since she couldn't beat them she went on to join them, making herself a place in the line and standing up, front and center, until the "I do's" were exchanged and everyone was clapping for the happy couple. Or, as far as Charlotte was concerned, clapping for her.
