Q and U got married!

Yesterday morning I got a call from one of the kindergarten teachers asking if Christian would participate in the kindergarten wedding of the Q and U the following morning.  Remembering back to when Christian was in kindergarten I knew just what she was talking about and quickly agreed that he would be able to serve as the U in the upcoming nuptials. When I picked him up from school yesterday he said he saw some email on Mr. P's computer asking to borrow him for a wedding the next day and he wanted to know what that meant.  As soon as I told him the details, he smiled and said he would do it.  (He was kind of already committed).

This morning I laid out his full uniform and put his jersey on his shoulder pads.   He acted cautiously optimistic but he could not hide his smiles. He was excited that he got to get out of class to participate in a special event and was proud of the fact that he was the one boy picked in the whole school.  I'd be lying if I said I was not a pretty proud mama too!

Carson and I went in to school with Christian and listened to the announcements before heading down to the cafeteria for the big event.  The kindergartners looked adorable in their procession down the hall.  The girls all dressed as queens in their finest dresses and paper tiaras and the boys all dressed as quarterbacks wearing jerseys, paper bow ties and boutonnieres.  They were precious.   Time for the ceremony to begin!

Mrs. Covington welcomed the grade to the QU Wedding and read the QU Wedding Story.

The music began and they began the walk down the aisle.

The flower girls tossed q-tips before everyone stood for the Q and the U

Mrs. Covington read each letter their vows and had them say the "QUAH" sound instead of I do.  She then asked if any letters in the audience objected. Since everyone had letters on their tiaras and bow ties. It was really cute!

They even exchanged rings

Carson can't wait to come to kindergarten next year

Oh my goodness.  

Sure enough when I picked him up from school he had not changed his clothes.  He thanked Mrs. Covington and Mrs. Lacy several times for picking him to be the U today!  What a fun 2nd grade memory!
