I accidentally set a poor girls veil on fire during my First Communion. She had this elaborate veil on that would have made brides weep & was directl in back of her holding my lit candle. That thing went up in flames faster thanI could blink but luckily, a quick thinking godmother saw it & knocked the crown & veil off her head. Everyone at the church seemed to think it was funny once it was known that there was no harm done.
For my First Communion, we had a big celebration that included dinner, dancing, & tons of gifs & money that was put aside for future use (I used it to help buy my first car) but I did my First Communion w/my brother & cousin so there were three of us to share in the day. Still, it was great & the family representing was definitely a highlight for me.
