Every Little Girl's Dream

Does every little girl dream of the fairy tale wedding? It has been a full week or two here with wedding planning at full speed. The clock is ticking, ticking, ticking...and not nearly slow enough!

My sister got married last Friday night. It was not a long drawn out massive planning adventure that Kat's is, but not any less important. We got home from Church last Wed. night after meeting with the pastor of Barron Rd. Baptist Church. He agreed to marry them on that Friday evening.

Naturally we went to work to make the best of that. Kat got busy working with her Aunt's hair, and we went and dug out a bouquet. This one pictured is from Gabrielle's wedding-it was the one Kat (as a bridesmaid) carried. It is quite pretty. We got it out, dusted it off and showed it to my sister. My niece, Prudence, took to it and just played with it, walked around carrying it, she did not want to let go of it! Paige on the other hand tried to take it apart! Both girls were just adorable!

My sister did use that bouquet, did get married in a sweet private ceremony attended by both sides of the family. She is on to a new life with all the twists and turns before here shadowed by the life she has left behind.

Kat is of course off and running. With just under six weeks to go, showers coming up, and still items to purchase, I am wondering if we really will get through this stress free. Yesterday was the day we took dresses in to be altered. We also stopped by Libbey Glass to get vases and flutes. A few more purchases, and I think we've got this! Let's see...need one more vase, maybe some tulle, probably more ribbon and greenery, m&m's, fans, the cake topper (sent first one back yesterday-not quite what she had in mind) and a back up cake person, my dress, Steve's tux....am I forgetting anything else? Yea probably....it is about time to scramble!

Did I mention we are still trying to rebuild the house-can't seem to get much done in that arena right now and that is really weighing on me! Goodness...how hard can it be to get a room painted!

Speaking of...got a full day, and so I am off!
