I Was a 52 Year-Old Flower Girl
It’s an old family story. I know, stop groaning. I won’t make it too long to bear. Promise… It all started when my Uncle Mike, then a young teen, met a young girl at a summer church camp. They dated each other in high school, he a senior and she a sophomore. After he graduated at age 17, he was off to the U.S. Air Force. But they remained in touch with each other. About a year or so later Uncle Mike returned home and proposed to Vicky. I was a tiny girl of about five when Uncle Mike asked Vicky to marry him. It seems like everyone was so much taller than me. But I certainly knew what a wedding was.
