Inviting children to take part in your wedding day is always a bit of a risk. Children can be unpredictable to say the least, and it only takes the smallest of grievances to set them off.
But when you love the children in your life dearly, there’s nothing that would stop you from making them big features in your wedding. You picture the adorable videos that you will one day be able to look back on with joy and happiness, so glad to have captured them at a stage of sweet innocence.
Unfortunately, not all children understand the importance of behaving at a wedding. Others, simply overwhelmed or upset over something unforeseen, are not happy to have a starring role – or any role at all, for that matter.
One little girl showed us exactly why it’s difficult to trust a youngster at a wedding. She had the very important job of being a flower girl, where tradition says she should symbolize the bride in her innocence.
As the organ music begins, we can see the audience turning in their seats and craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the new arrival, who is hidden out of sight behind one of the back rows. It’s more than likely that the crowd isn’t waiting in anticipation for the toddler; rather, they can hear that she’s kicking up a fuss and want to see what it’s all about.
The music stubbornly continues, as even more stubborn cries emit from the back of the church. Finally, with a scream that seems much bigger than her tiny lungs should be capable of, the flower girl toddles into view.
Still screaming like the world is about to end, she runs as fast as her little legs can take her, right into the waiting arms of an amused bridesmaid. Dressed in a beautiful white dress with a pink trim and a flower headband, her adorable outfit completely contrasts her scrunched-up face and resentful wails.
We somehow don’t think that she’s quite the embodiment of the bride’s innocence that she had hoped for.
To add even more amusement to the scene, as soon as the little girl has been lifted out of sight, a young boy and an even tinier toddler walk into the aisle. The little boy is clearly the ring-bearer, as he’s holding a small velvet pillow. The girl at his side, perhaps another flower girl, manages to behave as the pair walk towards the bride and groom.
The little boy’s expression says it all, and the audience can’t help but laugh when he faceplants his velvet cushion in embarrassment.
The children have only taken a few steps when there’s more laughter: a man can be seen hurrying across the floor at the back of the church, carrying a baby at arm’s length. We can’t entirely be sure what’s going on here, but we’d suspect an imminent diaper change is probably necessary.
To the continued screams of the off-camera flower girl, the pair are ushered into their seats – and the bride and groom probably breathe a big sigh of relief.
Hopefully, those involved were able to look back at their wedding videos with amusement, even if they couldn’t exactly “aww!” at their flower girl’s graceful walk down the aisle. At least it’ll be something to embarrass her with when she’s a teen.
