It went really well! I wish I could show you an after pic, but one of the decorations I did was put a random photo of the couple in a heart shaped placement card holder and sat it in front of the place setting. I had it front and back so the people sitting on the other side could see it, too.
I bought the flowers and my friend helped me arrange 20. They looked beautiful and were fall colors. The kids hugged me after they saw it. I had large candies and tea light candles all over. The 3 main tables had 3 floral,arrangements each.
It really went wellâŠbut boy oh boy, those open bars are expensive! LOL! There were 50 people.

Did any other parent not feel taken over by emotion at their childâs wedding. I was happy for him (them), it was a lovely event but still stressful. Everything went well. But I didnât feel this overwhelming feeling that I thought I would. Perhaps a bit as they said their vows, but not much. I sort of wonder why? Whatâs wrong with me? Is it because Iâm the MOG, not MOB? Is it because theyâve been living together 5 years already. Why was I not âmovedâ. Happy, fun, but not âmovedâ.
Yeah, as another MOG where couple was together about 7-8 years, it was all nice but I wasnât particularly âmoved,â like when I and sibs married.

MOG here, and I also was just delighted all weekend long, but I didnât then (and donât now) had some overwhelming sense of emotion. Not when we danced, not when she came down the aisle, not when they left for their home. Okay, not more than usual when they left. I do recall that when they were saying their vows, I looked to my left and smiled at the MOB and held out my hand, which she took and gave a squeeze. Mine had also been living together for several years, does that make the difference?

You know, I think it does. Itâs not like they are starting their life together.

MOB here. Your feelings are perfectly normal! My husband did shed a few tears of joy.
I was MOB. I had a lot more emotion before the wedding, but by the time wedding came around I was happy/relieved it was over. I had a good time, but it wasnât emotional for me.

I can cry at the drop of a hat. And I did cry at both - more than once - maybe because both as MOG and MOB both of my kids cried so much. Lol. But I agree especially with D and her now husband - it was sort of âitâs about time!â Since they had lived together 3 years and dated 3 years before that!
Weddings are exhausting - it is totally ok to sort of be wore out from it all and just kind of glad it happened but also that itâs over!

Weather here is great, as always.
I also was happy throughout all the preparations and festivities but didnât feel it was as momentous as when I said my vows. I tend not to cry and I didnât see anyone crying tears of job, even though everyone seemed very happy for the wonderful couple.
