20 days until the wedding!
I’m proud of myself so far (note the ominous caveat, leaving the door open for future emotional mud slides and tight-jawed diatribes).
I have calmly overlooked shameless markups on assorted items and services, I have breezed over tense moments in the planning process and taken lots of deep, calming breaths when certain family members began making troublesome noises about seating arrangements and hierarchy status.
I serenely consult my 1950s etiquette book remembering that weddings happen every day, that they involve human beings, and as such, are never perfect. At particular moments, I envision myself having a marvelous, carefree time; at other moments, I can see how easy it would be for me to slip into General Contractor mode, barking instructions angrily through a bull horn while brandishing a highly-electrified cattle prod, intent on zapping anyone who dares to muddy the waters of Christina’s day.
Beware, potential troublemakers……
A grand Salute to You~Susette!
ReplyDeleteMother of the Bride to be...I'm loving the blog. Remembering my Mother at my wedding...gosh...she smiled a lot-hehe. Wonder if she enjoyed herself??? Wish I was able to fully appreciate all the effort at the time...but I simply didn't know any better. HA! Connie R.
Just wait, Connie.....you get to do this TWO times!! I will make myself available for comforting and educational consultations when the time comes....
