The Wedding was lovely. And my family was dressed appropriately.
I am not going to sugarcoat it. It was a grueling. But I feel confident that we did the best we could, with what we had.
The majority of my time was spent trying to secure a pair of pants that The Boy could pull up over his rear end. Because evidently this generation of young men have not experienced this fashion fad. I have seen way too many guys with their pants at half mast, tucking their shirts in. They look like they are all torso. I was emphatic that we were NOT going to have this look. It almost killed him, but he wore his pants pulled UP. He did spend the entire beginning of the evening asking when he could roll his sleeves up, and unbutton his top button. How much longer? I told him I would let him know. He looked ever so handsome.
The Girls were a little easier. The Ab-Cat was the first to find her outfit. Possibly because there was no way she would shop twice. Mousey required a tour of stores. They were both darling.
Honey looked dapper, as he always does in a social setting. We did dance one slow dance. He decided several years ago that he no longer fast dances in public. He has never really given me a good answer why not.
I heart these people!
This is what they looked like by the end of the evening.
No more pictures for the blob!!!
All in all they were a cooperative bunch. And they know I appreciate it.
Tomorrow, I will show you the actual wedding. With the Bride and Groom and the wedding party! And the dessert table!

You guys look great! I really love your whole family. You all make me laugh and smile and I really enjoy spending time over your house. And your Boy looks mighty handsome, I’ve let him know many times that his mother has the right idea about his hair looking better when it’s short.
