I can’t believe that Anthony is finally getting married!

Don’t be mean. Look here come the bridesmaids! Their dresses look beautiful!

Who are those kids walking down the aisle?

That’s the flower girl and the ring bearer. I’m pretty sure they’re the groom’s niece and nephew. Oh, they look so cute!

I just hope the priest makes it quick. I’m starving. I hope the food’s good at the reception.
