The Ring Shark

Ryan's cousin Danny asked Owen to be the ring bearer in his wedding.  I was so excited

because I knew Owen was going to be the cutest little ring bearer ever!  In the days leading

up to the wedding I talked Owen through his duties.  I let him know he was the ring bearer.
 He quickly and sternly told me he did not want to be a bear.  He wanted to be a shark.
So let me present you with the cutest little ring shark I've ever seen.

He did a great job!  We were a little nervous because at the rehearsal he was timid with all

of the unfamiliar faces.  He didn't want to hold the pillow or walk down the aisle.  But when

the time came for him to go on the big day, he did his job like a champ.  He walked down the

aisle with Ruby like he was supposed to, but then followed her to the bridesmaids' side

instead of going towards the groomsmen.  Ryan tried to call him over and then started

walking behind the chairs towards the girls side to get him.  When Owen saw him he came

running back down the center aisle towards him yelling, "Daddy, I did it!"  

Everyone got a good laugh, and that's what ring sharks are for, right?

Here are some pictures of the cutest little ring shark and flower girl.

And here are my other two handsome dates for the evening.  

It was two late nights for Joe, so he passed out before dinner was even served.

 My theory is he was thinking ahead and conserving energy for the best part of the wedding,

the dance!  He and Owen had a blast.  Joe walked around exploring everything and Owen

was a dancing machine!  Owen's dance move of choice was the bunny hop, accompanied

by a few spontaneous cartwheels here and there.  And although I don't like coming in

second, he admitted his favorite dance partner of the night was Ryan's cousin Laura.

 In case you were wondering what the bunny hop looks like, here's some footage...

 What a great night!!  Congrats Danny and Jessica!!
