picking up the rose petals

My sister-in-law, Jessica Bigler got married today to Nic DeSpain from Mesa, AZ. Sydney was a "flower girl" at the wedding. There were two other little girls that were also dropping rose petals as they walked up to the wedding altar.

Sydney happened to be the last flower girl. She was carrying a little metal basket with rose petals in it. The idea was they were supposed to drop them as they walked from the church to the altar outside. The first 2 flower girls did just that, however Sydney was quite concerned that they were dropping their flowers, so she stopped each time a girl dropped one and would pick it up. It was quite funny.

I heard a number of people snickering and whispering about the "little girl picking up the rose petals".

Some how she made it to the altar (with a full basket of rose petals) After the wedding was over, she decided to go and get the ones that she had missed and wouldn't go into the reception inside, till she had them all in her basket.
