Dream Come True

I now know I would never make it as a wedding planner. Though everything seemed to go off without a hitch at my son’s wedding last night. The priest gave a great homily, though he didn’t talk about what a great mom I am like I told him to. Photos were taken, speeches were made, laughs were had, and most importantly, my son and new daughter-in law had picked my favorite song, “Dancing Queen” for the official Mother/Son dance!

Check us out!

Thank you too all my friends who held my hand throughout all the planning stress!

I would have loved to have talked to my son, but I’m trying to stay out of his face. So no contact. We finished the seating arrangements. We pearlized the church programs. We ribboned the bubbles. I think we are all set.

But as I lay here next to snoreboy, I am so sad I haven’t talked to my boy today on the phone. I suppose I will tomorrow at some small point before the wedding, but I can foresee everyone yelling at me to get back into my place and telling me to sit the hell down. So I don’t know if my last hug before he’s a wedded man will happen.

I tell you, nobody is going to get in the way of me and my son before the ceremony. Afterwards is a different story, he will no longer be mine.

The Price of Beauty

Someone gave me a gift as the mother-of-the-groom of eyelash extensions. I was told not to get them wet for 48 hours. Don’t anyone ever call me vain.
