Hurry up and Wait

A few days from today we will celebrate the event of the year for our family!  Our youngest daughter and her fiance will be married on Saturday.  Just like every child is different... every wedding is different.  You would think after three weddings we would be experts....think again.  One thing I do know from experience is that at the end of the day the couple will be married and if history repeats itself, the wedding will be one heck of a good time for everyone.

Life will be coming up roses by the end of the week!

There are many stages to planning a wedding.  First, all the big decisions need to be made like the date and the location.  The decision making process starts with the big stuff... time, place, caterer, food, drink, music... and by the end you are left deciding what kind of those little card holders you want for the table names.  Well, all most of the boxes have been checked, I think.  One thing I will say about hosting a destination wedding is you plan as well as you can and hope everyone does their job.  Very tall order for someone who likes to be in control.

Today is the day that could not get here fast enough.  I left the shore to come home and take care of wedding stuff.  For ten days I have done what I thought needed to be done but really most days I wondered why I was down here hurrying up and waiting.  I did get to play several rounds of golf and work on my fabulous sock tan for the wedding!  These white feet will be the perfect accessory for my green dress!

Tonight I will probably get less sleep than I did last night but more than I will get Saturday night.  I will play every possible detail over and over in my head.  That gerbil is going to be doing extra laps in my brain.  It is finally here!  Wedding week!  California here we come!

They're getting married!
