<\/a>We were delighted when our dear friend, Erica, asked Miss Vienna to be her flower girl at her Austin wedding this past weekend. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous. The bride & groom, the location, the rehersal dinner and the ceremony were all completely elegant and breathtaking.
\"\"<\/a>
The flower girl on the other hand needed a little coaxing.
\"\"<\/a>
Daddy talked the ceremony through with her.
\"\"<\/a>
And we practiced….
\"\"<\/a>
And practiced…
\"\"<\/a>
And practiced…
\"\"<\/a>
But when it came time for her walk down the aisle…
\"\"<\/a>
She just wasn’t ready. Her ring boy had gone down right before her with his mommy and she thought that was a pretty good gig. And so I carried the flower girl down the aisle throwing petals as we walked.
\"\"<\/a>
Luckily, it wasn’t a problem in the least and the ceremony was perfect. Erica was a bride from my dreams. She looked absolutely stunning and her (now) husband was a perfect gentleman. It was one of the most pefect weddings I have been to.
\"\"<\/a>
After the ceremony, the flower girl posed for photos and got into all sorts of fun mischief…
\"\"<\/a>
She let the boys chase her…
\"\"<\/a>
for a solid hour. (That’s my girl. Keep them on their toes.)
\"\"<\/a>
And then Ethan and her battled over who could play with the ribbons on the presents.
\"\"<\/a>
We are so proud.
\"\"<\/a>
After the festivities we stopped at Hey Cupcake! <\/a>
Katie<\/a>, my fabulous cousin, gave me the first head’s up about this little cupcake eatery on her blog, so when we passed it during the kids’ matching complete no-nap-sugared-up-day meltdowns – Lee & I agreed we had never had our ox more in the mire.
\"\"<\/a>
They were delicious and hit the spot.
\"\"<\/a>
The children slept the whole way home.
Thank goodness for friends, beautiful brides, love that lasts throughout the years, and cupcakes.<\/p>\n

P.S. We do have two children. Ethan just refused all photos during this trip. \ud83d\ude42
