When I was five, I tied streamers on my bathing suit and my dog (!) and joined a 4th of July parade through the neighborhood. (My twin sister, Meghan, tied streamers on her big wheels!) Ever since then, I have had a fondness for streamers, which look so festive and fun. I like them at weddings, too. Here’s another Polaroid from my friend Jenny’s wedding. Her streamers were her something-borrowed.

I loved that 4th! After that I got a real bike, because if I could keep up with a parade on my big wheel then I could ride a bike. The best!
You’re right: it was pretty great! I think we ate ice cream cones while we paraded … and I’m pretty sure I shared mine with Scooter!
