One Handsome Ring Bearer


Josh Oliver got to be the ring bearer in Josh and Elizabeth's wedding a little over a week ago.


He looked so unbelievably handsome in his tux!


I was kind of afraid he might get the grumps on the day of the wedding--it would be a shock, I know--but he did great!  


He happily did what he was asked to do.  He smiled great for pictures, did an excellent job walking down the aisle and standing on the altar, and patiently coaxed the flower girl to come down the aisle with him.  


I couldn't have been more proud of how well he did!


I think the most exciting thing of the day, though, was the fact that he had the same name as the groom.  


He really loved that!  


He kept trying to take his place in pictures--just a minor confusion!  He made sure he signed the guestbook right by Josh's picture and paid a dollar to dance with him during the dollar dance--obviously you must dance together if you share a name!


The other two boys were also asked to do big jobs.


Henry helped bring up the offertory gifts.  


He did great, but he was carrying the wine with his casted hand.  I held my breath until he made it to the front of the church because I was terrified he was going to drop it.  He made it, though!

Luke served Mass.  


There were five priests in attendance, which is way more than Luke's ever served for.  I think he was little nervous just before the ceremony, but he did excellent!


After the wedding the boys break danced the night away.  They've got quite the moves!  I love that they get out there a live it up!  


Josh kept trying to get one of the older girls to dance with him.  He never managed to convince her, but he kept at it.  


The other two happily danced alone!


I love all weddings, but I must say, getting to watch my boys be a part of one, especially Elizabeth's who we all adore, just put it all over the top!


We were really lucky to be part of such a special day!
