Ronnie and Alexa plan their weddings

 

as dictated by Ronnie:

"I have no idea who I will marry. I don't even know IF I will get married. Maybe I won't, and that's okay. But if I do, I think I would like to get married married in Willow Park, and we can eat outside and little kids can dance to music and play in the creek. And adults can go in the creek too so the kids don't drown or anything.

I will wear a veil and a little white dress with light pink flowers around my waist. I will hold black-eyed susans. I'm going to let my sisters pick out whatever they want to wear and what flowers they want to hold, but the flower girls will wear purple dresses with lavender bows and princess crowns.

I would like a purple, red, and pink cake with little blue flowers around the layers, and it will be three round cakes stacked on top of each other. And there will be a little buffet with food and cake. And I can have banners that say "Happy Marriage, Veronica and..." you know, whoever I marry. I'll give my husband a silver ring, and I think he would like a ruby on it. He can pick out whatever ring he wants to give me.

When we leave for our honeymoon, people can throw pink and white flower petals at us. And we will go to Yukon for our honeymoon and we will go to a restaurant and go ice fishing and do sled-dog riding (I'll be a grown-up then and won't be afraid of dogs anymore). And when we come back we will buy a little house in West Virginia and we're going to adopt LOTS of kids. It will have 4 bedrooms with 2 bunk beds in each room and baby toys for the babies and a playground. And it will have a big garden."

as dictated by Alexa:

"My wedding will be outside because that is much funner than inside. I will wear a white dress and I don't know which way to go to the dress store, so you're going to have to buy it for me. I asked Parker when I was a kid if he would marry me, and he said, 'yeah' and he won't forget that he said that.

The person who stands up front and will ask me 'Do you love Parker? Do you PROMISE?" will be Mr. Dave. I will buy Parker a gold ring and I will make it say "This is Parker's Ring.' And he will buy me one with a jewel on it.

All my sisters will wear red dresses and Penny gets pink daisies and Ronnie gets bluebells and Evie gets three red roses but you have to cut the prickly part off first. And I will carry white daisies, a big sunflower, and pink poppies. And then we get married and then...KISS. I don't even like kissing, so we will just kiss on the cheek.

Then the song Singing in the Rain will play and then we will have a big cake that is white like my wedding dress, with a little toy of me and Parker on top. I will share 10 pieces with Parker; I get 5 and he gets 5. But we will take the Parker and Alexa toys off the top before we eat it. We will save the toys for my kids to play with. We will grow some in my tummy and we will adopt some.

And then we will go to this place called Honeymoon where you can go on any trip you want to go on. We will go camping and sleep in the woods in a tent and no bears will attack me. And then we will go home to Dave & Tracy's [Parker's parents] house and that's where we will live. And then I will be a grown up and everyone will call me my woman name, Alexandra."

How sweet! I remember doing the same thing when I was little. I commend you for writing all of the things your kids say. I really need to do the same.

I like how "Alexandra" is her grown up woman name.
