Maried to Jesus?

#day55to55, day 6

Here’s a glimpse into my special First Communion album. And no, I wasn’t a child bride. In true Catholic tradition, little girls were dressed in white communion dresses. Looking back now, as someone who no longer practices the faith, I have mixed feelings about it all. But back then? Oh, I was convinced I was the most beautiful girl in the world wearing the most stunning dress ever.

Let’s be honest —it was about the big party, the presents, the necklaces, the bracelets… the works. Don’t I look angelic?
