‘Can the bride and groom kiss?’ Misunderstanding leads to cute wedding day moment

TORONTO – For most couples, a wedding is the one day everything is allowed to be about them (or more accurately, about her).

But one newly-wedded couple in Knoxville, Tennessee, is happy to share the spotlight with a particularly precocious flower girl who stole the show in the couple’s wedding photos.

The girl in question was Anderson Hall, the four-year-old daughter of bride Michelle Hall, who was serving as a flower party for her mother’s big day.

As the wedding photographer was setting up to capture some group shots, little Anderson decided to seize her moment.

“I was setting up the bridal party to take the bridal party photographs, like I do at every wedding, and so I took a few shots of that, and then I said, ‘Okay, I need the bride and groom to kiss,” wedding photographer Leah Bullard told WBIR News in Knoxville, Tenn.

“When I said that, well naturally [Anderson] thought I was referring to her, because she thought she was the bride and so naturally she just leaned in for a kiss and kissed that ring bearer,” said Bullard.

It’s a moment immortalized in the couple’s wedding photo: Michelle and her new husband Anthony Palmer locking lips, while right below them young Anderson plants a kiss right on the lips of the unsuspecting ring bearer, Ike.

So of course they tried again. But Anderson was not to be denied.

“I said…’Okay, let’s try that again, one more time bride and groom kiss…’ and she really went for it that time, and it was hilarious,” said Bullard.

According to Bullard, the flower girl had more or less considered it her wedding as well as her mother’s.

“She was calling herself the bride the whole day,” said Bullard.

But according to Anderson herself, things couldn’t have gone any better.

“[Ike] was the best ring bearer ever! And he thought I was the best flower girl ever! We’re best friends,” Anderson herself told WBIR.
