Have any of you ever heard of these women who say they have dreamt of their weddings since they were 5 years old? How many times have movies or TV parodied the woman who has collected Bride magazine clippings since she was 12 in prepraration for her wedding 15 years later? Well, folks, I am apparently raising one of these little girls. Who can guess which one?
Since she was 2 I have noted Alyssa's fascination with weddings. She will pick a flower and announce that she is saving it for her wedding. She has told me that daddy and I are not married really because she wasn't there to witness it. She teased the 9 year old son of a babysitter with sing-songy taunts of, 'I'm gonna marry you!!" If you ask her what her favorite part is of any Disney movie she will tell you that its the wedding.
(yes, we own this book) 
Well, she has topped it all now. Her next birthday, number 5, is already on her mind (it's not until November) and she already has it planned out. Can you guess what the theme might be? That's right, folk, WEDDING!
She wants a doll cake (you know, the one where the skirt is a cake...she had one last year) wearing a wedding dress. And she knows that Stephanie (a friend and babysitter) has these tiny little 3 tier cake pans and she wants two tiny wedding cakes as well.
She wants it all in white and silver and 'Remember Mommy, weddings have lots of flowers!' I wonder if there will be a little boy from class by then that she forces to exchange vows with her.
Can you stand it? How much cuteness can one mom take? Maybe she will be a wedding planner, but I fear it will end up costing someone a fortune someday for the ultimate princess wedding.
...SIGH...
