Professional Ring Bearer

Caleb was in his third wedding this weekend...and well, he's a professional ring bearer at this point!! When we first got to the rehearsal he asked, "where's my pillow?" During the rehearsal he kept asking me to follow him down the aisle. I explained to him that Mommy couldn't follow him but Daddy would be at the front. He seemed to understand but I became alittle nervous. How was he going to react to a chapel full of complete strangers? But when the big moment came he walked down that aisle without looking back. I know I was much more nervous than he was. As we waited for the ceremony to start I realized that my heart was beating superfast. Caleb just kept saying, "I'm ready, I'm ready!"

After the ceremony he was soo proud of himself, telling everyone how he walked down the aisle and how people were taking pictures of him. Of course, Paul and I were very proud of him too. Everyone commented on how well he did and how well behaved he is (the flower girls were alittle wild). Sometimes I think we might be alittle hard on him but when we receive comments on his behavior and how happy he is we know it's paying off.

And, I'm always so surprised that Caleb doesn't mind wearing a tuxedo. He even kept the little bow tie on all day and night!
