joie de vivre

I love this photo of The Small Boy!

It was taken at our wedding in May, and the legs in the background are some of The Man's oldest friends. They all went to High School together, and have remained friends for all that time! (Ok, The Man isn't that old...).

The Small Boy wore a vest and pants that The Man's Mum made. We purchased a suit the same as The Man and his brother (who was Best Man, and one of my most favourite people), and The Man's Mum created this outfit for The Small Boy. He also has on a tie in the same shade as one of the Bridesmaids. We had 3 Bridesmaids, and 1 Best Man - our bridal party was more about the people, than matching numbers, and the BMs all wore a different colour dress.

Anyway, the only sticky situation about The Small Boy's outfit, was my insistence he wear Converse. He has heaps of pairs, in many colours. I wanted him to be comfortable to run around, and also I loved that he looked a little different, and had an element of funk to his look for the day. None of the family agreed, they wanted little leather boots (which I have a thing about *vomit*), I argued he wasn't going to a building site, and The Man grudgingly agreed.

So The Small Boy wore brand spankin' black Converse. And EVERYONE thought he was awesome. Because he is, of course!

Anyway, I'm thinking of getting it put onto canvas as part of The Man's Fathers Day gift. He likes practical stuff, and we'll all love seeing it on the wall.
