Almost there.

Well it's only two days to go and my first born will be a married man!!
They have been so busy getting organised, I'm sure they'll be glad when the day gets here. The weather has been a worry but a sunny weekend is expected so it should all go off beautifully. We've been fussing about doing bits and pieces; the last few things will be finished tomorrow. Bonnie goes to the pet motel for the weekend, Kim and I are getting our nails done and Mark and I will pack our overnight bags for Saturday. :)

It'll be great to see my rels and meet our new daughter-in-laws extended family; they sound lovely. I remember my own wedding and some of the mad things that happened that made it such a fun day. Everyone left for the church but they forgot to take Mark. He managed to get there just as we were pulling up outside; so he had to bolt in the side entrance, but he needn't have worried - the main door was locked! I thought this was scream so pushed my nose up against the glass and waved to get the priests attention. Dad was annoyed, I couldn't stop laughing and the priest waved back. lol what a hoot! At one stage Mark and I had to sit beside the alter and as the priest was talking Mark leaned in close and said; " Sit back and relax, he might be a while." I said "I'd like to but I've sat on my veil and every time I lean back it starts to fall off my head." Needless to say we both lost it and started to giggle - which resulted in some very stern looks from the priest and Mark's parents. :)

That's the thing I remember about my wedding; not that some things didn't quite go to plan; but that we had huge fun!

Saturday is going to be wonderful. I'm guessing we'll shed a few tears - what parent doesn't - but this is as it should be. Our amazing son is beginning a new chapter in his life with his wonderful partner - and we feel very privileged to be part of their special day. :)
