The bigger they are the bigger the problems

Aw thanks (((Hankster))). I WAS going to sit back and watch this fail utterly. I thought that this would teach my son that maybe they should wait a little while. I did take the opportunity to point out to him that this would be the way his life will be for a while, always an excuse why the most simple task cannot be done. (You would not believe some of the things I've heard in the last few months!) But my son was the one that was being hurt by all of this. He had so many other things going on in his life that I had to do what would make him happy in the end. My love for him outweighed my need to teach them a lesson. I may have been wrong, but no one will be able to say that I did not do everything I could to start their life out as a success.

Photog confirmed just minutes ago.

There have been some giggles along the way. When we went in to order the flowers, my FDIL asked my opinion on what she should get. I told her that it was her choice, get what she wanted, I only like carnations, so I am of no help. The florist was mortified! We've had the same florist for 15 years. She looked at my husband and said "she only likes carnations? Why haven't you ever told me this? I need to know these things." I said "Maybe he's cheating on you, because I get carnations every year for my birthday, Mother's Day, Valentines Day and my Anniversary." Then she looked puzzled and said "then who do I make the bouquets of Roses for?" Our daughters :-) Good thing he wasn't cheating on me because she would have let the cat out of the bag.

More frustrations too. The latest is that FDIL's Mother is now "freaking out" (her words) because she's worried that she'll "out dress" me. WHAT? Who cares what I wear! My attire will be appropriate. I have bigger things to worry about than what to wear! I'm planning a wedding on virtually no notice. This is not MY day, this is their day. Wear what you want and I'll do the same. This woman is wearing me out!

On a side note, this is the first time I've ever had anything catered. Why have I never done this before? Normally I'm cooking for weeks before an event. The three days before are horrible. And some salads can only be prepared the day of the event. This is AWESOME, and much cheaper than making it myself. Plus, no dirty dishes!

The wedding was beautiful. My new daughter is lovely. I did NOT punch her mother in the face when she said "I've just been so stressed" at the rehersal when she did... nothing! (Including taking her daughter for her final fitting. We did that.)

I wasn't quite sure when it was happening, and I was a liitle afraid to ask! You are so funny! Thanks, I needed this
