A four-year-old who dreamed of becoming a flower girl had her wish granted last week after showing up at City Clerk's office in Manhattan with a bouquet of roses, wearing her best dress.
Annabelle Earl had heard about being a flower girl from her babysitter's daughter, but with no-one in her parent's circle getting hitched, her mom, Kim, came up with a plan.
安娜贝.厄尔从自己保姆的女儿那里听说了“花童”这个概念,但她父母的亲朋好友中却暂时没有人要结婚,她的母亲金姆于是想到了这个主意。
Wearing an elegant rose-print dress and white lace gloves, clutching a dozen pink and purple roses she purchased at a bodega, Annabelle stood quietly with a sign: 'Can I be your flower girl?'
'We stood there and she held up her sign and people walked past and would smile but no one came up to her,' Ms Earl, who lives in Brooklyn, told NBC News. 'I said I think we're going to have to ask people.'
‘She was too adorable to say no to, and we thought it would be fun to make her day as well as ours,' admitted the bride to NBC, though she did not want to be identified.
After the couple's number was called, Annabelle followed them into the room and stood quietly watching the ceremony next to the bride, handing her the bouquet she brought along.
