Two weeks ago my brother was married. We had such a great time catching up with family and friends that I didn't get as many pictures as I thought I would.
On Friday night there was the traditional rehearsal dinner. Arden brought her "A-game". She did everything Eric and Lori asked of her. However, she did not smile once during the practice. She took her role as flower girl very serious. Before they began practicing she was running around, laughing being herself. However, once they started she was all business. Even as she was walking back down the isle Dave's mom tried to get her to laugh or smile. She wasn't having any of it. She had a job to do and she was going to do it right.
After the rehearsal she was back to herself. She sat beside the groom and the ring barer took his place beside the bride. After refueling she was running around the room enjoying herself.
One of my favorite stories from the rehearsal dinner actually occurred earlier that day. Mom, Dad, Arden, Bonnie and Fred headed out to decorate the hall. Arden had found a ball and was playing with it. Somehow the ball went under the stage. Fred told Arden he would get it for her and as he was crawling under the stage to get it for her. She grabbed his ankles and said "I"ll hold you. You're OK."
