Bride and mom are communicating already. Some is entertaining and worth us remembering for later...so in the blog it goes. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
message from the Bride: 
pics are fine. i think it's pretty great, kinda like a scrapbook that everyone gets to share at once. **grin**
&  once i visited the blog, it's not so over the top. it's really very  sweet. i like it. it's just tricksie, b/c i'm still wrapping my head  around this engaged thing, & Renaissance Man Groom* is too. i might be more afraid of  overwhelming him than anything.
being at the center of all this  attention is nice, for a bit...then it becomes flustering & i feel  not worthy of it, or that it's just too much.
but you are right, some  things need to get done right away.   RMG*  wants some say in this & to have his opinions  considered. i'm giving him a week before we sit down & talk this  out. just a week to enjoy it.
i think it is verra sweet that daddy  wants a dinner. **grin** of course we can have one. i do get a bit  nervous thinking about adding all these things so suddenly: dinner, a  reception venue.
i want to keep this simple, i don't want it to get  too over the top or out of hand. i don't want us to have to wear  ourselves too thin. i want us to keep this a celebration, keep that as  our focus.
though according to popular male opinion in the car last  night, food makes celebrating more celebratory!! **grin** we took b &  e down too the snake river last night. we found out that our boys are  champion rock skippers!
(this just in: RMG hates embroidered towels)
much, much love,
Bride
to which I replied:
Just b/c some planning happens does not mean you still can't enjoy being engaged. It's not always a hurry up, go, do adventure.
Yes,  it's a celebration and party. I will cancel the flying monkeys and pony  rides however if I must.  But the 10 story fountain is staying,, even  if you get married in Zimbabwe!
As to the embroidered towels...well into each ones life some embroidery will fall.....
Did  I mention CK and I will be at the cabin sept. 23rd - 26/27th? Gonna  catch the fall colors, and some of the Celtic fest. If i'm lucky I'll  get to attend a free beginner dulcimer class..and learn something.
take a deep breath, and enjoy the gifts God has bestowed on you,... His treasured and much loved child.
love always and forever,
mom.... and no monkeys ;(     
Bride responds:
oh the monkeys are fine. in fact you could teach them to play the  dulcimer & then i'll walk down the aisle to your new pets choral  debut!! TA-DA!! **jazzhands**
**grin**
sounds like a busy (but wonderful) time!
enjoy the fall colors for me! & the celtic fest...i am jealous!
much love back (& give daddy a hug!)
Kate's sense of humor/wit is just like yours :)
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I have learned much from all of my kids. Their sense of humor is beyond mine sometimes. But we all have fun regardless.
