All Because 2 People Fell in Love.....: Aubree's Baptism

This Sunday, November 22nd, Aubree was baptized at St. Mary's in Humble (the same place her daddy and I were married). We actually got lucky because when we arrived at the church we were told that Aubree was not on the list to be baptized. Although we had taken all of the necessary steps, it seems there was a paperwork mix up. Finally when the priest arrived he said we were in the clear! The ceremony was nice even though it was literally mass confusion. For Godparents we chose Aubree's Uncle Micheal and Aunt Leslie. Uncle Micheal gave Aubree her first rosary and Aunt Leslie and GiGi gave her the baptism dress and decorated her baptism candle. Funny story about the candle.......At the ceremony, the baptism candle is supposed to be lit from the flame of the Easter candle at the church. Well, the Easter candle is tall and up on a stand so the flame is approximately 7 feet up in the air. Before lighting the candle, Leslie realizes that there is no way she can reach the flame. She asks the lady who was coordinating the event (who acts as though this is the first baptism she has ever attended!) if she can have a taper candle to reach the flame and just use that t0 light Aubree's candle. Well, not only does the lady not give her a candle to use, she then proceeds to tell Leslie to stand on the marble baptismal font and light the candle! I'm not sure how many of you have ever been to St. Mary's or any catholic church but.....you do not stand on the baptismal font!. Leslie never even considered jumping up there but the fact that they even told her that is hysterical! Needless to say, the candle did get lit in the end and all was well.
