The observant child

Today Thomas and I were celebrating our fourth wedding anniversary. Well, we had a pudding after our dinner and some fizzy wine. That got us onto the subject of our wedding so we dragged out the old photos. Both Marcel and Lots were more than gobsmacked to see how they had looked just four years ago... two almost unrecognizable little kids.
Lots then surprised me with the comment: 'It was amazing that both our dresses had the same pattern despite us buying them in two different shops'. (Mine was from M&S, hers Next). You know I hadn't noticed! I didn't notice on the day and in four years of looking at the photos it never once jumped out at me. I guess nine year old girls are sometimes more observant than 41 year old ones!
