Well, here's the thing: We have been hesitant about selecting our flower girl because....well....we have never met her! You see, Mr. Pudding has a very, very large, very, very close knit family. FMIL Pudding had ten siblings, and even though they are scattered across the entire country, they are very much connected. Our little (adorable) flower girl is one of Mr. P's youngest cousins, and she lives on the other side of the USA. Even though we have never met her, we have heard countless stories, have seen hundreds of pictures, and are very fond of her.
We hesitated a little bit with our decision not because we were unsure if we wanted her to be a part of our wedding, but because we didn't know if she would want to be. I mean, walking down the aisle can be traumatic for a little girl, and this nervousness can only be heightened by the idea of walking towards someone you do not know. After having an extensive chat with her mother though, we decided that Little D could handle the pressure. With permission granted , Mr. P and I went off to The Christmas Tree Shops to put together a little Flower Girl proposal kit.
The kit includes many little goodies, like a pin wheel, a fun little tutu, some "educational toys" (on Mr. Pudding's persistence), a monogrammed water bottle, and a "Fairy Tale Weddings" coloring book (featuring all of the Disney Princesses on their wedding day).
We're super excited to have a potential flower girl, and hope that she accepts our proposal! FMIL Pudding will be sewing her dress, so stay tuned for some progress posts!
Who's your flower girl? Is she really familiar, or are you just getting to know her?
