A sad wedding story

Eve told me a sad story tonight.  It started with, “When will I get to be in a wedding?”  To which, of course, I had to say, “I don’t know.”  She told me that last year in school they had to write what they know about weddings and she didn’t know anything!  She said, “I’ve never seen a wedding. I’ve never been to a wedding. I’ve never seen a movie of a wedding. I’ve never seen pictures of a wedding. I don’t know anything about weddings!”  How’s that for a random bedtime conversation?!  And yes, she has seen pictures of weddings! You may be wondering, as I was, why a 3rd grader needed to write about weddings, but apparently they were learning about China and they talked about Chinese weddings compared to weddings here in the U.S.  You may also be wondering, as I was, why this thought came to her mind a year later, as I was, but then I remembered that her best friend’s dad just got married and her friend was the flower girl, so I’m guessing that was on Eve’s mind.  We had a nice chat about weddings and all two of the weddings I’ve been to since she’s been alive, and the two I regretfully missed!  She asked again when she could be in a wedding.  I told her to start talking to the aunts and uncles!!  (sorry sibs!)
