Everybody loves a wedding

Last weekend, I attended the wedding of a gal who works for me.

A whole group of us went together. Some, like me, were married. Others weren't. In fact, several had NEVER been married!

Weddings are so much fun. Us ol' married gals shared our fairy tales weddings. I was the only woman who said the whole shindig was more for my husband and his family, than for me. My friends stared in silence when I admitted to handing most of the control over to my inlaws. To them, THIS was my husband's first REAL marriage.

"But that's supposed to be THE BRIDE'S DAY!"

Nope, I wasn't Bridezilla. My inlaws chose the delicious food, the pretty decorations, the DJ, the photographer, even the ceremony time. I helped put together the bouquets and boutinnerres designed by my sister-in-law. A few days before, I showed up with my maid of honor and bridesmaid. It was pretty laid-back.

Still, I had my fairy tale day. While decorating the hall and going thru the rehearsal, two inches of snow blanketed the ground. Less than 12 hours later, the sunny day was fast approaching 70 degrees. How great was that?!!?

It was a lovely ceremony, a kickin' reception and the perfect start to a great marriage!
