On Saturday we traveled down to Clermont for Bennett and Natasha's wedding. Janice and Richard offered to hang out with Ben while Jonathan, Rosemary, and I went to the wedding.
Rosemary thought the cake was beautiful. She told me that she will also have purple on her wedding cake.
Rosemary and Jonathan waiting for the ceremony to begin. It was about 60 degrees outside, but by that window it was about 80.
Looking angelic
Each chair was tied with a purple organza bow with a carnation tucked in the center. Rosemary very much enjoyed the carnations and seeing who had what color on their chair.

Exchanging vows
Husband and wife!
Rosemary made her way around the room to collect the chair flowers to make her own bouquet. I don't think she took any out herself, some had fallen on the floor and others were handed to her.
So happy!
I took it to mimic one of our wedding photos.
The Stiller family
Rosemary went up and asked the photographer if she could have her picture taken with the flower girl. The photographer very kindly agreed.
Cutting the cake.
The bouquet toss. Rosemary was very much looking forward to being a part of this since we left before the toss at the only other wedding she has attended.
Guess who ended up with the bouquet? She didn't catch it. I didn't see it all unfold, but I think what happened was this: Natasha threw the bouquet and it hit the ceiling then plummeted to the floor in front of all the ladies. A woman walked over, picked up the bouquet and handed it to Rosemary who gladly took it.
This little girl loves a wedding. Afterwards she told me I could be her flower girl when she gets married. In her world, that's the coolest role (after the bride) so I guess I feel pretty honored.
Congratulations, Bennett and Natasha! And thanks for including us in your special day!
