One of my newest tasks was to ask the girls that I care so much for, to be in the wedding. I've been in a couple weddings this year and I know how hectic and time consuming it can be as a Bridesmaid. I've been blessed to stand next to gracious, kind Brides.... and I've also been next to latter. Not a fun place to be!
I wanted to start of our "Wedding Season" on a good note and show the women how special they really are to me. I decided to make a little box with each of the girls' names on the outside with a little poem on the inside. I dressed up the boxes with sunflowers and moss to reflect the rustic fall theme we are going with.
I took each of them to the ladie's respected houses while they were at work... they all loved the gift and I was just so happy that they turned out like they did.
Here's what the poem said inside.
There has been talk of who will walk
and stand with me on the big day.
But now is the time, pardon the rhyme,
to put into words what I've to say.
I'm honored to have you as a friend,
I'm lucky in you I can depend.
Our friendship is true, it will never fade,
now will you go the extra mile and be my
Bridesmaid?
There's not much to do, buy a dress buy a shoe.
Calm me down when I start to frown.
Keep the glass full, don't allow any tulle!
Dance all night, right in sight.
Join in the laughter of our special day,
and take having fun seriously,
promise me, ok!
