Ring Bearer in the Making

Well, Jack Everett has been asked to be the ring bearer in his cousin Kyle's wedding. What an honor! We are so excited. Darlene, Davis, and I went on a scavenger hunt looking for a size 4 black suit and trekked all the way out to Lookout Road to Burlington Coat Factory where we found the most adorable black double-breasted suit and an off-white shirt. We even found the shoes there. When we got home, Jack tried it all on and the jacket was too short, shoes too tight, and shirt, well, too too too "too itchy!" Naturally. So, I went back the next day and we now have the perfect suit. The shirt and shoes are still in the works...

We have tried not to talk too much about his role in the wedding for fear of working him up about it. If he gets too much attention he gets embarrassed. So, apparently we hadn't used the word "ring bearer" when I took this video the other day - in the OLD suit, obviously.



Jeff and I know he is capable of completing the task and are hoping he will perform like a champ and make us proud. However, we know he is equally capable of freaking out and saying, "Don't anybody look at me!" and running out of the chapel. It's a crap shoot, really.

We searched the Internet for some ring bearer videos and think he's getting ready. He knows that it is his "very important job" to carefully walk the ring to Kyle because he NEEDS it to marry "new cousin Tara." He even practiced it tonight for Aunt Mel and Cousin Hope wearing his suit jacket over his Spiderman jammies, carrying Mommy's wedding ring on a folded up Clifford the Big Red Dog blanket. Yes, it was just like the real thing.
