Do all you can ahead of time, give that person the instructions, but have an organizer on hand and then let it be a party for you. That worked very well for me. It can be a relative, a best friend, but someone who has a list, can keep an eye on the order of things and won't be in the emotional position a mother of a bride is. Then it's just a big party and you can enjoy. It worked for me.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-24413309282815663302012-08-30T18:18:44.728-07:002012-08-30T18:18:44.728-07:00We are one year out from a wedding for our daughte...We are one year out from a wedding for our daughter. It is a destination wedding which is in a very remote area. Daughter and son-in-law to be seem to have no concept of the possible issues which are likely to arise. They blithely assume it is just going to be a large party....how hard can that be? I am somewhat looking forward to being in your current spot-30 days out, and the festivities soon to begin.chlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476371332873753350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-8391286374545711932012-08-30T13:57:45.733-07:002012-08-30T13:57:45.733-07:00Lost license, lost ring... I'm giggling! Than...Lost license, lost ring... I'm giggling! Thanks for the love and the laughter; it was just what I needed. YES, as Little Cuter and I emailed today, it will be an evening with those who love her and that, in and of itself, is enough!<br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-84814334682232939512012-08-30T13:55:57.575-07:002012-08-30T13:55:57.575-07:00You just made me feel better about myself <3 W...You just made me feel better about myself <3 Went to the Dollar Store and found a wired garland of hearts which I will entwine through the handles, like those ribbons you suggest.

Try to enjoy the moments as they come, trust the process and surrender to the things over which you have NO control. When I find myself in a pinch and drowning in worry, I always do a visualization exercise that helps tremendously. In your mind, try to place your worries and other stresses in a box and ship it to God. I always feel lighter when I do this & let go...I know it's so much easier said than done.<br /><br />Before you know it, the wedding will be a memory & a beautiful occasion no matter what. <br /><br />I gotta tell you a funny story about my nephew Joe & his bride Maggie on their special day last week. Not to stress you out, but you might get a chuckle out of it. It was quite a CiRCuS, but unforgettable!<br /><br />The couple arrived on time to the venue of the ceremony & were greeting their guests. Everyone had gathered and were about to take their seats. As things were about to get underway, they soon realized that NO one in the party had the marriage license in hand!!! Even worse, my sister (MOG) had inadvertently THROWN IT IN THE TRASH thinking it was clutter!!! Once they ran home to retrieve the licence & perform the ceremony, things settled and they proceeded to exchange their vows, etc...<br /><br />Near the end of the ceremony, when it was time to exchange wedding rings, my nephew was overcome with panic as he realized HER RING WAS NO LONGER IN HIS POCKET!!! All everyone could do at that point was laugh!!! Soon, after retracing his steps, he remembered playing with the ring in his pocket while waiting for the ML & searched frantically for the ring to find it nestled in the bowels of the sofa. It had fallen out of his pocket & he was lucky to find it in a hurry and place it on her finger. Talk about CRaZy ToWN!!! We all just laughed and enjoyed watching them sort it all out. Love was all that mattered...<br /><br />It ended up being a beautiful day, in spite of a few glitches. EVERYONE will ALWAYS remember their day and laugh about it for years to come.<br /><br />Things always work out. It will be a beautiful day, I am sure. They will be happy just to have it finally over with and celebrate their love with dear ones. <br /><br />Hang in there...call on those around you who can & will help you if you ask.<br /><br />Enjoy your day, S.<br /><br /><3 Tennismomazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648275865147710529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-72060052726363595782012-08-30T10:21:02.325-07:002012-08-30T10:21:02.325-07:00I believe you are a highly organized person and it...I believe you are a highly organized person and it's possible that due to your trauma you've lost a few of those skills which might be adding to those knots. Plus, as you said, it's not just a big party, it's your daughter's wedding! And no matter how wonderful that is, your mother of the bride emotions may be getting in the way. I have faith that it will all come together just right and be just beautiful. (Possibly you could hang a floral arrangement on the library doors, attaching by ribbons to both handles so people would think twice about disturbing flowers to go in that room?) I think I'm glad that I'm "only" going to be mother of the groom at a wedding at the Tucson Botanical Gardens ... of course that will be next March so we may still have weather issues. Now, get those plates etc. ordered! You've mentioned that a couple times so it must be time to do it.ForestGirlnoreply@blogger.com
