Well, I'm back..the Wedding was a Success!!!

Oh Marilyn, I enjoyed reading every word! I'm so glad that it turned out so well! As far as pictures, check around, someone probably had their camera and can email you some pictures. (those professional ones take forever!)

My wedding was such a comedy of errors! I designed my girls dresses and they literally were not finished until almost midnight the night before the wedding. The woman who made them was at my house sewing up hems at midnight! My 3 nieces were in the wedding and they ended up having their dance recital the night before so I had to move my rehearsal dinner to two night before! My sister who was my maid of honor, broke her nose the week before so she had 2 big black eyes, then she broke her finger the day before. I forgot about place cards until the day before so I was running around to card shops trying to buy 200 of them at 5 o'clock at night! the limo's showed up an hour early and we didn't realize it so we all jumped in the cars and got to the church when the wedding before us was still going on. My soloist ended up being too sick to sing, so we skipped the solo during the ceremony. At the cocktail hour I picked up a swedish meatball and it fell off of the little stick and bounced down the front of my dress. (I spent the whole night with people saying "oh honey, you have something on your dress"). Walking in to the reception, Kenny stepped on the lining of my dress and it ripped half way out! (I ripped it out the rest of the way and balled it up in a corner!)....those were just some of the things that went wrong! We spent the entire night just laughing our heads off because it was like "the keystone cops get married". I refused to let it all ruin my day, and other than the swedish meatball, people had no idea what was going on so it was all still beautiful. We've always joked that we should have known then how crazy our lives would be! We were engaged for 2 years and I had that wedding planned down to the most minute detail. It just all fell apart at the end And I won't even start on the honeymoon fiasco! That turned out good in the end too!

I'm so happy to hear that your daughter had a beautiful day - as far as the little things going wrong, it's that stuff that you can laugh about in the years to come.

Marilyn, it's so good to hear that the wedding turned out so beautifully. As for the little mishaps, everyone has them and I'm glad to hear that they were worked out. That's too bad that the sash was lost, especially since it was picked out so early and was so beautiful. I thought of you so many times on Saturday and always said a little prayer. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures too. I bet that Melissa was an absolutely beautiful bride!!!

I'm sure the ceremony was gorgeous! I can't wait to see pics.

Melissa is lucky to have such a sweet and caring mother. I can tell that you did everything possible to make her day special and memorable.

Now, I think you need a vacation!
