With full approval from my daughter. Couldn't find a dress I liked, so I'm wearing very nice black pants, an olive colored jacket, and a cream colored blouse.

And yes, I will definitely post pics!

2. Go to bed you naughty girl!

You want to be refreshed and vivacious at the wedding don'tcha?

[SeattleGirl]

6. I know.....but I'm tired AND wired!

However, tired is starting to win out over wired, so I don't think I'll last much longer being awake.

[Nicole]

3. How exciting!

Enjoy the wedding. :toast:

Tomorrow night you can relax. :)

This time tomorrow you will be a mother-in-law!!!! :scared:

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Thanks Nicole!

I'm actually looking forward to being a mother-in-law! My soon-to-be son-in-law is a wonderful young man!

[leftofthedial]

4. get some sleep!

you have lots of crying to do and that can be exhausting.


Not to mention the drinking at the reception.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Ha! I will NOT be drinking alcohol. Gotta drive myself home!

And I'm going to try like the dickens not to cry. I'm like Oprah -- I'm an "ugly cryer"! :rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

9. Whoo hoo!

Cheers, :toast: Just don't faint tomorrow! And of course, I'll be expecting some pics....:D

[SeattleGirl]

:hug:

[Ptah]

12. I'm with you, simply because

you have been here for me.

Sunrise, Sunset, by Ptah

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?


I don't remember growing older
When did they?


When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?


Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears


What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?


Now they must learn from one another
Day by day


They look so natural together


Just like two newlyweds should be


Is there a canopy in store for me?


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

[SeattleGirl]

15. Oh, Ptah, that is beautiful!

Thank you so much! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Ptah]

22. .

Please enjoy the ceremony

:grouphug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Aw, geez, dude

Now you made SG cry.



And it's ugly.



:spank:

[SeattleGirl]

17. Aw, it's okay Oedi.

No one is around right now.....I'm only embarassed by ugly crying when people can see me. :blush:

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Ah... well...

then you just go right ahead and get ugly. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

21. ........

:loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Right now

there really oughta be a hug-and-pat-on-the-back smilie. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

27. Great idea!

However, this'll have to do: :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. Y'know what?

You're gonna be fine. Hell, you're gonna be great.

I dunno if I can say this the way I want (I'm tired), but... a lot of us have seen how you feel about the impending nuptials, and I believe that's part of what's gonna make it really strong. I don't know anything about your soon-to-be-in-laws, but I do know that when entire families get married, so to speak, it's a big advantage over marriages of just couples.

I think you're gonna be the best MIL ever. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

37. Awww, Oedi!

How sweet! I did tell my daughter's fiance that I would NOT be an interfering MIL, but if he did her wrong, he'd find my boot in his behind. AND, I told my daughter that if she did not do right by her guy, she would find my boot in HER behind! Her response was, "Wow, _____! My mom REALLY likes you!!!"

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. See what I mean?

You've got plenty o' boots and you know where to put 'em.

[SeattleGirl]

42. Oh yeah! Especially my black knee high spike heeled ones!

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. My favorites!

Yeah, that'll get their attention. :evilgrin:



Hey, it occurred to me that you could put "I got plenty o' boots and I know where to put 'em" to music:

[Ptah]

20. Those are tears of love.

I'm hurt to learn that you think

i could do something ugly.

:cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. I figured you might be a bit cocky

after bein' all appreciated and stuff. :7

[Ptah]

25. I'm loviing it!

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Cool!

What's his name? :7

[Ptah]

[MissHoneychurch]

[SeattleGirl]

38. Gotta keep a little energy in reserve. The day after the wedding is

my youngest sister's 40th birthday, so we will be celebrating that too! I'm gonna be totally exhaustilated!!! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

51. According to my mom

...son-in-laws are wonderful things. She absolutely adores hers, says he's the baby boy she never had. However, my take on it is that just a huge suck-up! I should know as I'm the one who has to live with him! Seriously, congrats to you and the happy couple.
