"Beep, beep, beep, beep."
Andrea reached over and shut off the alarm clock. Then she jumped on her sister Michelle's bed and shook her. "Wake up! Wake up! It's finally here! Are you ready for today?"
"Yes, I am," said Michelle, sitting up and grabbing Andrea to tickle her. "After all these months of planning and waiting, it's finally here."
Andrea giggled as Michelle tickled her. "Come on, let's go have some breakfast," said Michelle.
The girls hopped off the bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. Mom and Dad were at the table having coffee.
"Good morning, ladies," said Mom, putting her coffee cup down and reaching out to hug Andrea.
Andrea giggled. "I'm not a lady; I'm just a flower girl."
"Well, today you're going to look like a princess," said Dad, pulling Andrea from Mom's arms into his lap.
Michelle sat down at an empty chair at the table, and a half-asleep little boy walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mr. Ring Bearer," said Michelle.
"Is that today?" said Justin, wiping the sleep from his eyes.
