Plan ahead for my daughter's wedding day

Hello everyone… thank you for all the cheers, encouragement and good wishes that I’ve received from you over the past year. Today our lovely daughter became a married woman. This goal is done now, with my heart full and spirit content, happy.

A million thanks to each and every one of you who commented, cheered or wished us well… it meant the world to me, and added to our happiness. I wish you all could have been here, with us and I suppose in a way you were. (((43T!)))

Tomorrow is the big day, Jen and Mike’s wedding day. Here is our little family last night at the rehearsal dinner. By tomorrow at this hour, I will have a new son!

Saturday evening. Evening rehearsal and dinner. Everything went well… had a good time, sheesh! Don’t know what is the matter with me. I’m just so calm and happy! Usually I get so nervous about any ol’ darn thing. All is running smooth as silk. :-)

... hanging upstairs in the only place it will fit! Feels like it weighs 50 pounds.

check. My hubby and son picked them up yesterday :-)
Here, they wait for the big day.

only a few more days… I have the final tallies, have set-up the seating chart and will write out all the names in the same calligraphy I used on the invitations.

Ter’s off on vacation time now so he going to be a great help with all the last-minute preps. Here, were off for our morning walk with Cali first thing. We talk a lot about the wedding these days… and are expecting typical little disasters but hoping for none ;-)

Today Jen, Terry and I sat down and finalized the seating chart. I’m no wedding coordinator, but am learning that organization is key to simply getting things done, one thing at a time. The “big day”—two weeks and counting.

to the Men’s store to order Ter’s tuxedo. Black tux, ivory shirt, champaign tie and vest. Sharp!

my dress I got my dress I got my dress! woo hoo! It’s a beautiful cobalt blue, just under the knee-length, Calvin Klein. I also got a sheer shoulder wrap and new shoes. Whew. Now I can relax a little and only worry about make-up, hair (ugh!) and the mani-pedi the day of. What a lot of fuss and bother, no? But ‘tis a special day and will be worth the extra measures of attention to detail.
