Cool Ray
“My parents had a traveling puppet show that my sister and I grew up performing in from ages 8-18. This is one of our promotional pictures of us with a puppet we worked together, named… Cool Ray. YES. Kids could buy a picture for $ .25. And did. I’m on the left, apparently sporting the same hair as the puppet.”

Turtle Of The Bride
“My three year old cousin screamed and sobbed the entire wedding. When everyone left the church after the ceremony, there happened to be a parade happening outside that included the Ninja Turtles. She was so excited about getting to meet the Turtles that she did not want to go back into the church to take pictures. So my parents asked Raphael (who was her favorite) if he would come inside so their flower girl would be in the pictures. And this was the end result.”

The Backup Plan
“My husband was a ring bearer in his cousin’s wedding. He wasn’t the couple’s first choice, but when the original ring bearer dropped out at the last minute, they quickly had to find another kid around the same age. As you can tell he wasn’t thrilled about being the backup ring bearer.”
