Hi Everyone! I'm baaaacccckkk!!! The wedding went beautifully! I am now the proud mother of a beautiful girl (and, yes, I'll keep my son!) I know I'm prejudiced and partial to my family (including my "new" family), but this was one of the most beautiful, personal and thoughtful weddings I have ever been to. The feeling of family was so strong, even from meeting most of the people for the first time on the bride's side. It left a lasting impression on me and I can only imagine the memories the bride and groom will have. As my son had it written on his calendar -- "The happiest day of my life"! And even though today is my husband's and my 25th anniversary, it's back to business...
