By This Time Next Week I will Be A Mother In Law!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Elite

Yep, this coming week our oldest son Josh is getting married to a wonderful girl named Audrey!   

We are all in full wedding mode( read hysterical) and running around like chickens on crack!

This morning I was thinking about how easy it is to lose sight of what a wedding is really about.
Its about the love two people share and their desire to share their lives forever.
In the end, all the little stuff won't matter or even be noticed. So what if the shoes don't match exactly or if the Mothers dresses clash, this day is a celebration of love and the details make not a bit of difference...
well, they shouldn't. Lol, yeah, tell that to the Mother of The Groom who has been nuts for days! 

Today I am taking a breather to remember wha
t is important and to be grateful for the love that has found it's way into our son's life~

Congratulations Vanessa!  You're so right about the details not mattering in the end--at this point in my marriage, I don't remember at all if anything went wrong; I only remember that I married the man of my dreams and love him more each day!  Enjoy this next week...

Thank you everyone, what a whirl wind! The funniest thing is the bride is so laid back and not worried about any of it, and here I am the one fussing! lol

Congrats Vanessa...  How fun for you.  I'm looking forward to the day where any of my kids start dating...just for the hope of a wedding somewhere down the road.  :)  They are all grown and out of the house...but just have different priorities than mine.  Go figure.

Vanessa! Congratulations! How exciting~I can only imagine the stress that is going on right now! At least you aren't the mother of the bride ~ her stress is probably even greater! In the big scheme of things, you are right. This is a celebration of love! No one will notice if the dresses clash or if the shoes don't match! It is the joy of two lives being brought together as one! Have fun! Enjoy every precious moment!
