The Boy and I have a sweet set of friends that we’ve known
since our college RUF days. The local group has shrunk since college (with folks moving away and
what not), but we’ve stayed close with one particular couple – the Bradleys. (BTW, Jenny has a blog, too. Go check her out.)
They were our first friends to have a baby, and we’ve been
in love with "Lukey Bear" since we knew he existed. I mean really, who couldn’t
love this kid?
We’ve had the chance to spend tons of time with him over the
years (dinners with Mark & Jenny, evenings babysitting, etc.) We’ve also
been to both of his birthday parties (and had the chance to make his cakes!).
Matter of fact, he associates me with two things:
Matter of fact, he associates me with two things:
- “Pau” – the cutest way to say Paul ever
- “Happy Cakes!” – his name for birthday cake
He hasn’t yet mastered my name, but whenever he sees me, he proves that he can say those two
things REALLY WELL. I’m okay with it.
When we started thinking about who we’d ask to be our ring
bearer, he was the obvious choice. Sure he may only be two and a half by the
time the wedding gets here, but we trust our little Bear. (And yes, it may be
asking for trouble, but at least it will be adorable trouble!) Plus, his daddy's a groomsman, so that'll help. I’m sure he’ll
do a great job.
Luke’s dad is a police officer (aka “bad guy catcher”), and
we wanted to somehow tie that into Luke’s “job.” I’d seen a cute little “Official
Ring Bearer” badge on Pinterest, but couldn’t find it to buy ANYWHERE. So, naturally, instead of giving up on the idea, we decided to just make him one.
We found a couple little wood pieces at Michael’s – a small
plaque shape and a little sheriff-badge style star. I painted them gold and
silver, added text with sharpie, and stuck a pin back to it (so he can wear it
on his shirts).
We then found a little black t-shirt and white iron-on
letters and made him a “uniform” –
SECURITY on the front, OFFICIAL RING BEARER on the back. Turned out SUPER cute
(in my humble opinion).
My favorite part, though, is the box. Michael’s had
pre-finished black boxes (similar to my bridesmaid boxes) that were the perfect
size for a t-shirt. I embellished the front with sicker letters and a second
badge piece, then stuck a note to Luke from us on the inside lid. I also added
a ring pop (to keep in the ring bearer theme), to give him a fun little treat.
We asked Mark & Jenny first - I used the same note design I had for the girls' boxes - then gave Lukey Bear his box.
He loved getting a present and was really excited about the badge.
His favorite part was, of course, the candy. Gah, isn’t he
just the cutest?
Can’t wait to see what kind of fun antics this little monkey
adds to our day. It might be crazy, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
my daughter found a similar tee and badge at Michael's. it was so cute. he wore the tee at the rehearsal open house and the badge at the wedding inside his suit jacket. Have the cutest photo of him holding open his suit jacket, looking at the badge... Just like a detective.
