Imanuel was asked to be the Bible Boy for Andy & Idaliza Publes’s wedding on January 4, 2009. (We’ll never forget that date since that is Bentley’s birthday!) I declined right away because I wasn’t sure if Imanuel would actually walk down and not ruin the wedding. He’s only 2! But, both of them insisted that they love kids and they think it would be cute even if he messed up. (Right.) Well, I consented, and after several practices in our house, (where I would hum “Canon in D” and our hallway would be the center aisle), on that beautiful, brisk wedding day, he did a marvelous job. He handed that heavy Spanish Bible to Israel who officiated (-it was his first wedding & it was in Spanish!) Israel did great and everyone was happy. 😀 Praise God! It was a gorgeous wedding that we felt so honored to be a part of.
Here is a clip of Manu walking down the aisle. This was taken by Andy’s (groom) friend on his phone.
We’ll try to get some pictures up sometime too.
Madigan has now watched the video twice and taken note of the good posture and fortitude of the carrier. In all seriousness, please keep this video and show it to Manu when he is older and feeling frightened of doing the right thing when everyone is watching. Remind him he did it all in front of a large audience at the age of 2 and everyone was so! proud!!! Adorable, thank you for sharing, Ramoses.
… did Israel give him a treat? 😀
