Mother of the Brides

It started innocently enough.  Just a lady wanting to have a kid or two or six...  They were such beautiful girls, they would never grow up, I made them promise.  Liars!  We tried to hide them,  keep them ugly, turn them mean.  No luck, those boys were more vigilant than expected.  Of course it didn't help that my girls wanted to be found.  Kristine started the whole thing.  Karlee was waiting for a missionary, but he was never coming back, it was for two whole years, and the guy that was chasing Kristine around lived four hours away from her. 

"mom, I have some news, were love and want to get married." 

It hit me like a thunder bolt,  my kids were actually going to get married!

"We want to wait six months though, probably October"

October!,  Karlee's missionary was coming home in October, and they were still writing.  This could be bad.  Two wedding in six months,  they would never do that to me.  Would they? 

Yes they would.  Kristine had a beautiful wedding, great day, good party, frazzled mother.  Karlee showed up with her Alex, home

for less than a week,  in love and plotting. Needless to say,  I am in the throws of another wedding,  Just call me wedding planner extraordinaire.  I have another wedding in two weeks and I couldn't be happier.  I think I  may actually pull this off.  I have had more sewing, cross stitching, wedding cakes, mints, flowers, centerpieces, tulle, lights, table clothes, bridesmaids dresses, invitations, pictures, etc.  than I ever thought possible, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  My girls are happy, they found great guys are starting their own families.  I guess that is what the goal was all along.  I guess my husband and I were able to teach them to use their wings after all.  So bring it on Mindy,  I think we can handle anything, just give me six months O.K.
