Replies to: 2016 and beyond wedding moms and dads
Mom and step dad of groom hosted lovely dinner. Mom gave opening welcome and remarks to the couple, and before dessert my husband gave a tribute/toast to the couple. Given the AC issue, i was suprised how relaxed i was at dinner.
Tomorrow is reception setup at church and a team of bakers and cooks in the kitchen. Followed by a game night and meet and greet at our neighborhood clubhouse.
Feeling really good tonight. Happy for Our D and her fiance.
Also, feeling like a failure for the lack of weight loss.
Wedding was all we wanted and more. Weather great, crowd not as many as expected, so space was not as tight. Almost all Family we wanted were able to attend, ceremony went smoothly, and the many babies and children in attendance were well behaved.
The bridesmaids and the groomsmen were all very involved in set up and clean up, and the MOH was on top of protecting bride, being right there to take care of everything, she even had an entire backpack full of every possible thing needed.
Most importantly, I was able to relax and enjoy being present. Only tears were watching my H and my D walk down the aisle. I completely shocked all my friends and family with my unusually calm demeanor. It truly was a happy day!
I have no idea about the cake, other than to wrap it a few times and put in 2 freezer bags.
We have the top layer of the cake in a Tupperware container in our freezer. I’m quite sure it’s going to be fine whenDD and SIL get here at the same time...in July...to have it. Ours is a square container...about 8x8 and about 6 inches high.
Daughter: what is dress code for grandparents anniversary party?
Me: No clue. I suppose i will just wear the same (casual) dress i wore to your wedding.
Daughter: I probably shouldn't wear the same dress I wore to my wedding!
DH caught me moping in my MOG attire. He just laughed and said honey, I'm gonna cry so much nobody will have time to stop gawking and look at how gorgeous you are. And he will, he cries at commercials!
Invites mailed today!
All other baggage to be left behind. (At least, that's the plan.)
D shower was today. I planned it and was nervous but the bridesmaids and MOG really helped. It was lovely. People told me I should do event planning. I would have done a few things differently ,but overall it was great.
Ordered invites today.
I too wish I lost more weight
I broke a toe yesterday. Ugh. Only dark spot.
