OT We're done, Jo and Susan next

[Polly Esther]

Proud to report that our granddaughter's wedding to-do was oh so lovely and
sweet and so far as I know, everyone survived. Profound heart-felt thank
you to you for your good wishes and prayers.
The veil - all 10 yards - that I hand hemmed and pearl edged was just
right.
The flower girl basket and ring bearers pillow were both pretty and
indestructible. (I have a heap of experience with indestructible.)
The bride was very grateful for the bling studded flip-flops I made for
when her bride shoes got pinchy.
The gown that Mr. Esther and I hemmed, pressed and managed to get to the
church unscathed was lovely.
Certainly more than enough about me. That was the sweetest wedding
we've ever been part of and the reception was obviously wonderful.
Something that so touched our hearts - the bride's daddy (our son)
didn't just 'offer the bride his arm' as they came down the aisle, he also
reached across to hold her hand. Lots of tears and laughter in the ceremony
and so beautiful.
NOW ! we can move on with other events such as Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Jo having a baby and Susan being mother of the groom.
I'm b - a - c - k. Polly

The wedding sounds so beautiful and you sound so
happy......congratulations on surviving and for all the sewing you did
for the bride. I'm sure she must have been just thrilled with all you
did. Best wishes to the new couple! Donna

[Polly Esther]

Number One grandson and his betrothed were there. I said, "Just name me the
price and I'll write you a check to elope". I hope they're thinking about
it. Polly

Naaaay, Michelle. I didn't say it was perfect. Sweet and beautiful, yes.
I don't EVER want to do that again. That production was just too hard on
everyone . . except the bride who thought it was all just wonderful. I can
remember being that young. Polly

No, Sandy. I guess not. Maybe the word is 'aware' but I just wouldn't
ever feel comfortable publishing on the net the faces of my loved ones.
I'll always carry scars from my career days with some horrible creatures and
need to keep my little ones protected. You'll just have to trust me and
believe that I was Gorgeous and the bride even better. Polly

Glad to hear your report. I was thinking of you today.
Sounds like a great day.

Well, Donna, I don't know. DH and I had to take a gown that cost more than
a nice house and make it so that the bride and her dad didn't trip coming
in. We managed a miracle of getting it just high enough at the center so
she could step and turn and never be overwhelmed by that mass of silk and
satin. DH and I called that creation the 'parachute'.
Maybe, one day, the bride will get to hem her own granddaughter's gown.
Then, probably and only then, will she know the absolute terror and joy of
what we did for her. Polly

Thank you, Taria. We felt your presence. Polly

My father offered Alan �50 and a stepladder... :D

He didn't live to see the wedding. My bro gave me away. It was a
lovely day, as perfect as it could be without Dad. All the dramas
happened well before, except the printing of the Order of Service cards,
which had the wrong version of the 23rd Psalm. They got reprinted the
day before and delivered direct to the church by the boss of the
printing firm that morning while Mum and Big Sis were finishing off the
flowers.

Think of "perfect" = "complete". Thanks to you and everybody else who
worked hard on it. It sounds like a wedding where people didn't lose
sight of the main thing, so of course it was perfect!

I can certainly understand that, Polly -- though I'd have loved to have

My kids both had bigger, more elaborate weddings than we thought were
necessary, but I am so glad they did not elope. Their weddings were such
wonderful, joyful occasions and we'd have been disappointed to have
missed them.

I know what you mean, Polly. My cousin had a very elaborate wedding. I
couldn't understand why anyone would want to go through or put their
guests through all of that. Perhaps I'm just not that sentimental though.

Some just want to get married, some want to have a wonderful
memory filled day with loved ones and others want to put on a
show. I guess there is everything in between too. I guess a
bride can go with her fancy and whatever someone's bank
account can give. When we were getting our license at the
county office a couple got married right at the window. It
was weird to watch. They were no less married than anyone
else that gets married but it seemed quite spartan. Of course
they were already ahead of most of us since they had their
baby along. : )

I've always felt and have done the same thing. I carry scars
from my youth days and so I do whatever I can to keep the monsters
away from my grandsons and other children.

Very good points Taria. I've been appalled when I've heard that some
people spend more on a wedding than a luxury car--however, I agree,
getting married at the window does seem a bit spartan.

Thank you for the update, Polly. I am sure the fact that her Grandma sewed
those many pearls made the veil very precious to the bride. She will tell
that story for many years. Blessings to the newly wed couple, and to you and
your Mister, too.
