Thank you, Abbey! So exciting and I can't believe where the time has gone! The son from VA flew in this evening, staying with the youngest. The boys and their gf/fiances coming for breakfast tomorrow. Rehearsal is at 1, followed by luncheon. Then off for manicures/pedicures. I am so excited for my daughter, her and her fiance are perfect for one another. He drew her this pic for present:

The youngest son's quote on their site for the pic:

Just like real life, he's trying to enjoy his computer and you're preventing it

She had some 40's type 'pin up girl' pics taken professionally, here's one:

She is attractive. ;) Actually she is a college recruiter and sings professionally. Shyness is not one of her failings. LOL!

I will try to get some pics up after the wedding.

Whew, what a day. Up around 5, friend over for coffee at 7. Boys over at 8, made pancakes and juice. They took off to pick up tuxes. Ran to get car cleaned, gassed, and of course to the bank. :(

Came home, showered, did hair, make up which I usually do not wear. Figured I need practice for tomorrow. Rehearsal was at 1. Place is just gorgeous, colors are stupendous. Luckily I just walk down the aisle with my son, light a candle with groom's mother and sit. I can do that! Went to luncheon at Giordano's. Salad, spaghetti, garlic bread, and pizza! Lordy, I was full!

Then off for manicure and pedicure with my friend and her daughter, one of the bridesmaids. We ended up talking until 25 minutes ago. I'm so tired, but tomorrow is going to be wonderful!

sounds like you had a lot of fun.;)

It was fun!

Now here I sit at 4 am, just out of shower and facing the dilemma, 'do I put on make-up first or dress?' LOL! In this case, I'll choose the make-up. I can step into dress. ;)

I wrote my letter to my daughter and future son-in-law, I'm hoping those tears get me through the ceremony! It was a good thing I got myself to bed so early, I woke up at 3. It's going to be a long day, but a happy one.

Thanks Chloe! Just came back from breakfast with bride, groom, ex and his family. Middle son got engaged this morning! LOL! It's been a crazy and joyous few days!

The darlin' daughter and my new 'son' are going back to work on Thursday, they're taking their honeymoon in January, a wise choice in Chicago. ;)

You may be whatever you choose, I'll respect you! LOL! I look pretty odd there, but my youngest beats me on that count, he's the one with the champagne in his hands.

Your youngest looks fun!!!

no doubt the bride is so beautiful & glowing on her wedding day, but that brides mother looks equally beautiful in my opinion.

Now you get to start working on your sons wedding.

I just thought for sure by now we would be hearing about your wedding kathianne:laugh2: I guess my psychic radar sucks.....

I'm signing you up for Millionaire matchmaker;)

But seriously what kind of men do you find attractive physically? I am guessing that you would only date conservative men?

I don't know where I got this quote from, but my gf and I used to say it constantly during arsenic hour:

The days are long, but the years are short.

Perfect for moms at home with kids. ;)

Regarding how fast our kids grow up. 'Arsenic hour' was the time before dinner and dad coming home, to give us a break from the kiddies. We were stay-at-homes.

Both bride and groom are artistic, her for music-thus the singing to the couple that i think I omitted. I've no clue how to post video/audio. Their friends are also very artistic, thus the gifts, including the sign in stones.

Kathianne

10-11-2011, 12:01 AM

Yeah! I hear you. I think you know me well enough to say, 'grounded in concepts.' right? Well their friends are grounded in art. It comes through in photos and in singing or preaching to the couple. Truly unique for me.

So much of their wedding was artistic. Me? Art and myself don't even blow kisses, though I really love to see it. It's a case of 'knowing it when I see it.' In this case, these artistic types were smacking me right and left! My daughter sung 2 jazz numbers to her husband, then a blues number with lots of heat.

They challenged their audience to serenade them, with relevant songs. Seriously various groups did, from tables, to groomsmen/bridesmaids/siblings. All too applause! I never saw anything like it. Bunch of artists. Yep, even in gifts. Sign in book for wishes for couple, hand made 12 tiles. Unbelievable. They had gifts of photos, oil portraits and Japanese cartoon style. So much talent among less than 125.

Wow that is really cool. I am not artistic myself in anything either. My whole family is aertsy except me:laugh2: but i appreciate art so I guess that counts.

I totally lack talent in fine arts. Surprise to no one here. That my kids have mega gifts, probably due to father, though my mom was renown locally for singing and debate, back in the 1930's.
