Everyone knows that, as a bride, you have a kind of Bridal gang; a group of your closest female friends and relatives. Who fuss over you for almost the entire wedding day. Well, let me tell you about mine.
I had 2 flower girls: Kim and Daphne.
Kim, the 6 year old daughter of my Sister, has Down ’s syndrome. She is the cutest little girl I have ever seen, and she has the most beautiful spirit. Up until this past spring, she was unable to walk She used to scoot on her fanny across the floor wearing out the bottoms of all her pants.Daphne, my Maid of Honor’s Daughter is afflicted with CP (cerebral palsy)/. If you knew her, however, you would understand that she doesn’t consider herself afflicted at all.
Then there’s my bride’s Maid, Lorraine. She is a Nurse in a hospital that treats childhood cancer. She has dedicated her life in the service of others.
Let me tell you about my best friend La Donna; she is one of the most beautiful people I know.
Despite my pleading, I couldn’t convince her to “be ‘in’ my bridal gang”. It’s funny, because the one person, who didn’t want to dress up and parade around with me, is the person who helped me the most throughout the entire day.
So, as you now see, my bridal party consisted of 4 people in my life who taught me some important things.
1. I don’t take my life for granted.
2. What’s on the outside of a person doesn’t matter as much as what’s on the inside.
3. Beautiful spirits are all around us, and we don’t have to look hard to see them. Sadly, you can usually find the beautiful spirits by looking where most others are not.
