Second Chances

Some of you may recall Joshua's first attempt at being part of a wedding party at my cousin's Trevor's wedding.  (see this post) 

Dave and I were amazed at the bravery of my cousin Travis and his now wife Whitney for asking Joshua to be the ring bearer in their wedding.  Joshua was initially opposed to the idea.  But then he realized that he could be like Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, carry a ring and be a hero and he was in. 

The festivities started well as Joshua did not repeat his emotional breakdown during the rehearsal and in fact walked at lightening pace with is tongue out.  After a little coaching up on appropriate tongue placement and speed he assured us he was confident in his game plan for the wedding.

Pictures (as you will see below) were also, thankfully, not a repeat from last year.  Joshua smiled and looked cute. 

 

Joshua loves Gumby and Tanner and thinks he is as cool as they are.

 

Joshua knows how to ham it up for the camera and get a reaction from all the girls in the room by lovingly leaning into Travis's shoulder.

Last minute pre-wedding chat.

Going into the church and down the aisle.

Joshua made it down the aisle, at a reasonable rate of speed and with his tongue in his mouth.  He was quite proud of himself and loudly stated, when he got back to his seat, "I did perfect!  When is this going to be over?"
We were very proud!
