Wedding

My oldest son is getting married next May and I am really happy about it,but a little sad at the same time! My mom won't be there and that is so sad to me, so it is a bitter sweet affair. The whole thing of this is they have less than 8 months to get everything in line, which seems like they may have time,but they really don't because it will be here before they know it. They have the wedding dress so that is a good thing, oh let me tell you about the dress. My future daughter in law asked me to go with her to pick it out! I was so excited and honored that she ask me to go with her! We went in May and we were looking at some dresses in a catalog when this one dress really caught my eye and my future daughter in law liked it as well. The gal that was helping us asked if we found anything we liked so we showed her and luckly they had that dress in house. The one that she saw on line they had on display but you had to special order it, truthfully I didn't really care for it so I was glad they didn't have one in stock! She picked out three dresses to try on and the first dress was the one I had liked in the picture so well. The sales lady helped her on with it and she came out of the dressing room to look at it and have me look at it I was about to cry when I saw her in this dress, I mean she just glowed!! It fit her body just perfect and look so great on her!! She still wanted to try on the other two dresses, but when she did the sales lady and I both said that we liked the first one the best, well she decided we were right! So we put it on lay away and now we have the dress at my house!

In the mean time I keep asking them if they had anything else planned out yet and they keep saying they are working on it! One thing they do have someone making the wedding cake and they have a few odds and ends. They want to make up their own invitations, her aunt is doing the flowers, her mom is making a dish, but yet they still don't know where or who will do the service. I keep telling them they better really think about this because it will be here before they know it!

They also added six more people to their wedding party, they went from having six to having twelve, yikes!!! It is good though because now my other two children are going to be in their big brothers wedding, so that is pretty exciting! Another thing is she doesn't want the maid of honor or the bridesmaids to wear a "bridesmaid" dress she wants them to pick out a nice formal dress, so no one is going to look the same. I am not to sure about this myself, but it isn't my wedding so I won't say anything. After all I don't want them to think I am meddling. The groom and the best man is going to wear a tux and the groomsmen are going just to wear black pants, purple shirt and a vest. ( Their colors are red and purple) They also are having a ring bearer and flower girl.

They wanted to get married outdoors up at the Lake, now they really aren't sure!! This isn't even my wedding and I am getting nervous about the whole thing, in fact it kind of reminds me of when I did get married I almost said the heck with it lets elope, but of course I would never say that to my son, because I want a nice wedding for him, but they really need to get on this thing, seriously!!! I know in the end it will all come together and there will be a wonderful wedding and I will have one more to add to my little family!
