As I went in I noticed everyone was seated waiting for the ceremony.
I quietly crept over to the nearest seat and sat down in the very back. A few minutes later my family walked in and went to sit down except for Jen she came over to me.
"Ally honey could you keep Amanda with you back here? If she starts crying bring her outside and calm her down. I would but I'm in the wedding party." She said guiltily.
"Ya it's fine." I said grinning as I took the baby carrier and put it on the seat beside me.
Carefully I picked her up out of the carrier and held her in my arms as the ceremony began and the flower girls started walking down the isle.

All of a sudden a loud cry sounded through out the room.
Quickly standing up I said my apologies before walking outside with Amanda still in my arms.
"Shh it's okay." I murmured as I sat down in the grass on the hill.
She continued wailing so I started singing to help her fall asleep.
"Think I don't need a watch to tell the time
Think I don't need the sun to help me shine
Think I don't need a girl to be alright
Guess I didn't know
That I didn't need shoes on my feet
That I didn't need a bed to fall asleep
That I didn't need love to be complete
Guess I didn't know
That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me, for me
You're all I think about when I'm awake
Part of every night and every day
And everything's a mess when you're away
Now I know
All of this is getting really old
I'm having trouble sleeping on my own
Feeling like a house but not a home
I want you to know
That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me, for me
Guess I need a watch to tell the time
Guess I need the sun to help me shine
And I really need you in my life
Now I know
That you give me this crazy feeling
And you won't have to wait no more for me, for me
And I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me." I sang quietly as I rocked her to sleep.
When I finished she was snoring softly in my arms.
Standing up I quietly slipped back into the room the ceremony was being held in and put her in the carrier then I grabbed my stuff and went out to my car and put her carrier on the passenger seat.
Twenty minutes later everyone came outside heading to there cars.
Opening my door I grabbed the baby carrier and brought her to Jen.
"Thank you so much, honey!" She smiled gratefully at me.
"No problem. Where's the after party?" I questioned causing her to chuckle.
"It's actually at the couples house. They're our neighbors so just head home." She explained.
I nodded my head before getting in my car and going home.
