"The Wedding", by Audrey Saunders

Audrey had to do a narrative at school where she had to write about something and narrate it to her class. She chose to write about her day as our flower girl. I thought it would be cute to make a book for her about her narrative and give it to her for her birthday. I had Lisa email me her narrative and I put it on the last page of the book. I got as many pictures as I could of her from the wedding and turned it all into a cute book. She loved it and I am soo happy she did!!! She kept telling Lisa that she doesn't know how her narrative became a REAL BOOK!!! Take a look at the book...the last page is her narrative, but in case you can't read it you can read it below the book...

The Wedding
Written By Audrey Saunders

It was a beautiful Friday morning and I didn’t have to go to school. It was a special day. It was my Aunt Cara’s wedding and I was the flower girl!!! In the morning I went to get my hair done at A Star Is Born. It’s a hair salon where you can get beautiful hairdos. I told the hairstylist, “I want my hair in two little braids in the front that connect in the back.” When she was done my Mom said, “It’s perfect! You look beautiful!” After she finished I put a clip in the back. It was brown with a gold center.

After I got my hair done my mom and I went to pick up the flowers. The flower lady’s name was Candy. The flowers were all different shades of oranges and for the vases there were real white pumpkins!! After we got them we put them in the car.

After we got all dressed we drove to the beach for pictures. I was wearing a brown dress with gold flowers on it and gold shoes. We were in the middle of taking pictures when my Aunt Heather yelled, “Ouch!” She had stepped on a bee. She was almost crying and in pain. My Grandma ran to get an ice pack from the Life Guards. She put it on her foot and it felt better.

Next we went to the Community Center. At the Community Center we had the real wedding. That meant it was almost time for me to be flower girl!!! When it was time I walked down the isle. I carried a basket that was as white as snow and the orange petals from the flowers were in it! After my two cousins and me watched a slide show, danced, and played around. During the dancing it was time to throw the bouquet!!! Cara turned to me and said, “Stand behind me.” The next thing I knew she through the bouquet right at me. When I looked in my hands I noticed I had caught it!! That was one of the most fun times of my life!!!

The End!!!
