Priceless, bajamm! Congrats.
Congrats. @bajamm!! So glad it all went well and that your daughter and SIL are famous!!
They have such a great story to tell for the rest of their lives … so glad it all turned out so well. I think attitude is so important. They had the right attitude, for sure.
Congratulations, @bajamm! They will certainly have a unique wedding story to tell for years to come. I’m so glad things worked out.
D just texted and said that CBS Morning Show is planning on including their story during a story on the shutdown during the 8 am news section tomorrow morning.
Cool, @bajamm!! Can’t wait to see it (if its on early enough!)
Oh bummer. I’ll be at work by that time…maybe it will be online later.
Her wedding sounds like it was terrific! Doesn’t everyone get their 15 minutes of fame? What a way to get it!!
Congrats @bajamm!! Such a cute couple. That is one memorable wedding, for sure.
An old article on weddings and shutdowns: get a wedding insurance.

On CBS- Brief but adorable!! Congrats @ bajamm! The family wedding photo was beautiful!
Glad I checked on CC while watching hour 1 of CBSTM. When hour 2 started, I stopped my work on the computer to focus on the mini-segment and got to see a snippet of your family, @bajamm. Lovely pics!
@bajamm - nice segment and beautiful couple! Great family pic, too. Sometimes the unexpected at a wedding creates special moments; good to remember in the frenzy of planning. Congratulations to your DD and SIL.
I am a MIL again, as of last week. Daughter got married just before Christmas and it was magical. I was surprised by how many people came - we expected a lot of nos because of the date, but that didn’t happen. This D was engaged and ended her engagement 3 years ago. She married the perfect man for her and the heartache was worth it to see her in such a good place now. The wedding was lovely - three sets of alterations to the dress that didn’t get finished until two days before, and we weren’t sure it would be ok, but it was. We are Protestant, and in our denomination it is customary to invite the entire congregation to the ceremony and a coffee hour afterward, so D did that with a gourmet hot chocolate bar, Christmas cookies and a visit from the chubby guy in a red suit. I wasn’t initially sure about that, but it was a huge hit with everyone, even adults. It was especially poignant for the six year-old grandniece who is fighting advanced cancer. All in all a magical day, and I hope there will be grandbabies in the not-too-distant future. From the married daughters - not the unmarried son!
The church reception sounds like so much fun! What a great way to incorporate the holiday.
Congratulations, @zoosermom, it sounds like it was a wonderful day! How wonderful that it was not only so special for your D and her new H but also for your grandniece. So many memories for all to share!
Congrats, @zoosermom and family! It sounds like the wedding was fabulous.
Re shutdowns and DC weddings: I’m so glad my daughter and her husband chose an Alexandria, Virginia venue for their wedding last year. The other two venues they seriously considered were in DC.
I worried about many things in connection with that wedding, but it never occurred to me to worry about a government shutdown – even though we have lived through several of them.
Thank you @BunsenBurner!
@zoosermom terrific. Sounds like a wonderful wedding.
Now…you get to wait to be MOG!
