I just went to my little sister's wedding last weekend -- how appropriate!
My alma mater is like it's own little local sorority, so that is where I picked up little sisters.
All of the bridesmaids except one (her sister) went to our college, so we're all sisters. For our bouquets, the bride chose our school flower (red rose), our family's flower (orange rose) and the flowers of our two closest families (white rose). It's hard to explain, but they looked gorgeous, especially for a late summer wedding.
We always seranade the bride and groom at the reception, also. We usually sing songs that the bride requests, but we almost always sing "We Won't Live In A Castle."
We won't live in a castle,
But love will light every room.
Love will shine in your eyes and mine,
As bright as the moon above.
Laugh with me in the sunshine.
Cry with me in the rain.
Want me, dear, and you'll have me near,
You've only to say my name.
Laugh with me in the sunshine.
Cry with me in the rain.
Want me, dear, and you'll have me near,
You've only to say my name.
The groomsmen hated this song, but the ladies all loved it!
