Wedding talk

This weekend is going to be a lot of fun!  #1 and I are in my cousin's wedding on Sunday (the bride is #1's Godmother), so we have been doing quite a bit of talking about the wedding.  In fact, #1 is so excited about her Godmother's wedding that she has already played around with materials to make a wedding dress for when she gets married.  

A few weeks ago, we hosted a baby shower at our house, so there were a lot of decorations being put up.  I purchased a blue table cloth for one of the tables, but it was too long, so I cut off a portion and threw the extra in a bag of trash that had wrappers from party decorations, plastic spoon/fork/knife boxes, napkins, etc. in it.  While I was hanging up things on our baby clothes line, I spotted #1 playing with the material from the table cloth.  She has such a creative imagination.  She started wrapping it around her body as if she were mummifying herself.  See below:
#1's wedding dress!
So, we started talking, and our conversation went a little like this... 

Me:  What are you doing honey?
#1:  I'm making my wedding dress.
Me:  It's beautiful honey.  So, you're getting married?
#1:  Yes.  I'm in love!
Me:  Really?  Who are you in love with?
#2:  The one that gave me the ring!
Me:  When are you going to get married? 
#2:  In a few whiles.
Me:  Oh sweetie, that's great!  So you have to tell me all about it.  Who gave you the ring? 
#1:  Don't know!  

After this mini-conversation, I laughed so hard my belly hurt.  She is such a dramatic little thing too, so picture each answer being said with attitude in her voice, hand on her hip, and picture her tiny hip jutted out as far as her little body will allow. Such a cute image!

Life is so simple when you are little.  It's funny to think that is her perception on marriage right now.  She just took bits and pieces of what I said in conversation to my cousin, to DH, to my mother... she took all of those words, studied them, then applied them to her little life.  

To this day, I still don't know who she will be marrying in a few whiles, but I hope I'm still cool enough to be invited!
