Wedding Heist

 I remember being the page girl for my uncle on his wedding. His bride to be had asked me to be the little bride for her wedding and I was so thrilled to hear that, at same time surprised she chose me over my sister. I was over moon when I heard that, ohh my God this experience is not that easy to come by but am really lucky to get a taste of it. I looked forward to the wedding and I was treated like the little bride of course, along side with my groom. Our apartment was below my uncle's apartment which was more like a family house to us, my grandpa owns the building anyways. We had guest sleep over for the wedding but I was surprised to have slept in a separate room from my siblings. Funny enough, a room was reserved specially for the little bride and groom just for the night. 

Whoopee, I didn't bed wet that night and my family was surprised too cause I was a pro at that. When I was done taking my bath, I wore a simple stay at home dress, ran upstairs to my uncle's apartment to dress up for the wedding as the little bride. See my joy as I wore my new shoes and my new pair of white socks. Had my hair a bit decorated, wore my gloves and was ready to move with my groom. Pictures were taken after the church wedding then we moved to the reception ground for the remaining event of the day. The bride and groom with their bridesmaid and men on suit coupled with the little bride and groom did a wedding entrance before the official opening.

I can't remember exactly who it was but I had remembered seeing either of my sister or my groom with an ice cream which I asked how they got it cause I wanted one too. Luckily for me, I was told the money for the ice cream was gotten from the dancing floor where the bride and groom was dancing. I was actually scared of collecting money there, that was a public space and people could possibly see me doing that. Ohh my God, how am I suppose to do this. Am obviously not among those picking money for the wedding but I had to think about the ice cream am about to get then thought about the possible case scenario I could find myself before moving myself to the dancing floor for the wedding heist. It took me some time to muster up courage to pick up money from the floor as I danced and convinced myself that other people were also picking money from the floor. I danced for a while before zooming off the place to where I was going to buy the ice cream. Finally, took a deep breath for a successful forty naira robbery. As I sat down to catch my breath and wait for any possible over sabi FBI agent coming my way before using the money. I felt relieved and got two twenty naira ice cream for myself before we went home.
