The Royal Family: Choosing God-Parents

I was thinking of all the things that we could give our child on the day of her birth.  I mean of course she would be blessed with amazing beauty, intelligence, wit and humor.  She will also recieve tons of spoils as she is the only girl grandchild on my side of the family.  However, what happens when IF something happens to us? If both of us have to leave the country and we aren't able to take her with us?  Lawwwd, I would be so upset if I couldn't take her to Paris with us (No, I am serious). Or who do you put in your Will that would raise her how you want her to be raised and you won't have a doubt about them raising your child??  This is when the BIG QUESTION is asked: WHO WILL BE THE GOD-PARENTS??


 I remember watching the God-Father, played by Marlon Brando, and thought that wouldn't my child have the most respected God-Parents ever, if she had body-guards around her 24/7 and she couldn't have anyone get close to her?  However, this would cause rebeling and land me in jail so this is so not the way to go! 


Now, in the Catholic Church, god-parents make the profession of faith during the baptism ceremony to assumeperpetual guardianship over the child. They are supposed to help fulfill obligations of Christian life and to insure fulfillment of the baptismal vows.  Does this happen in this century?

My definition of God-Parents? Someone who understands us and how we would like for our child to be raised. Has been a great example of their own children if they have any and has room in their hearts and minds for another one just incase emergency's happen.  Wouldn't mind being in that child's life as a mentor or someone to look up to.

I believe that the perfect God-Parents would be Judes and Sophia Smith-Pierre. I have never loved a couple so much. They have a great relationship with each other as well as their children and they make it almost impossible not to love them. They protect me and want people to do right by me as their sister. I have known them for more than 5 plus years however it seems like my life and everytime I am with them, I feel at home. That is what we want our daughter around. A loving, beautiful family that wouldn't mind feeding her pineapple upside-down cake to cheer her up!

Enjoy your day. Next Topic: THE BABYSHOWER!!!!
