Infant Alice Attends Her First Wedding

2016年10月26日

I took a 2-month-old to a wedding. Yes, you read that right.


It’s not that I insisted on bringing her, but since I’m breastfeeding, it was either bring her or not go at all. So we brought her with approval of the bride and groom of course. My husband was one of the groomsmen to our friend C.J. Marin’s wedding.


My husband being in the bridal party meant that I was on my own with our little one for much of the event, which made things a little tougher.


Baby Steps Graphic

Since we've been together, Cody has been in three bridal parties, which has left me looking like a bit of a loaner during the ceremonies. It also means a night or a weekend without your significant other because they have the duty of attending the bachelor party.

I suppose Cody will have it worse when I'm a bridesmaid for my friend Kristin’s wedding in April. I mean girls just don’t have a bachelorette party; there is also the bridal shower.


But that is beside the point; let’s get back to being the date of someone in the bridal party, with a baby in tow.


One of the most nerve-wracking moments of my life was worrying about Alice during the wedding ceremony. It is so quiet during those you can hear a pin drop, and in my case, a snoring baby. I guess I should be happy with that instead of her screaming and me having to make a mad dash out of there like Julia Roberts in “Runaway Bride.”


I do have to say, me taking a 2-month-old to a wedding made me feel like a bit of a super mom. I had to not only get myself ready and the baby, but also feed her. Plus I had to take the stroller with me on a shuttle that took us to the venue. Remember, I did all of this without Cody’s help because he was at the venue early for pictures.


I really thought I was going to be late to the ceremony; I got there about 15 minutes before it was going to start. But silly me, I should have realized that weddings never start on time, except for mine, which started a half hour early. In the history of weddings, I guarantee ours was the first to ever start early.


After the ceremony was over and I sweated about a half a gallon of water, I took a sigh of relief. The people around me complimented me on my mothering skills for being able to keep a baby quiet for so long.


That's of course when Alice started to cry.


She was hungry. There I was, huddled in the corner of cocktail hour, trying to breastfeed. I didn’t even get a chance to grab water or appetizers. Not until Cody came over to help me.


Once he left to get me something, a guest jokingly said I need carbs because I’m a breastfeeding mom. He then went on to say that his wife just stopped breastfeeding at five weeks, and I’m a trooper for still doing it at two months. There goes another super mom moment.


The rest of the evening we made small conversation with another couple who took a night out away from their 4-month-old. She kept checking her phone every now and then. I smiled because I knew that would be me when I get to go out without Alice.


She was a good baby the rest of the wedding. In fact, she slept through a lot of it, even the DJ’s music blasting. While that was going on, several guests told me how well behaved and beautiful she was. Of course, you can’t help but have a proud mom moment there.


I have to say, the best part of the evening was dancing, with not only with my husband, but also Alice. Cody put her in our front carrier. It was funny seeing Cody moving his body while Alice moved with him. It was a nice way to let go some of the stress during the day. But as we danced, it dawned on me. This will probably not be the last wedding Cody will dance with Alice at. Someday Alice will be in a beautiful wedding dress and Cody will remember that moment as he dances with his little girl on her special day.
