I'm so happy I can see bits and pieces of her wedding and preparations through the world of technology. <br /><br />I'll have to give the cheese spread a try at the next extended family function. They love cheese! <br /><br />Many congratulations to Carrie and Josh!

She had a mix up with her calendar and thought it was the next weekend.<br /><br />Oh, my. There's nothing like sitting in a beautiful church waiting. And waiting. And worrying - was there an accident? Is she ill?<br /><br />But hey. They got married without music and all was good.<br /><br />We expect things to go wrong - so we focus on the essentials.<br /><br />And keeping the bride calm? We'll see how that goes. ;)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-68803485052953531862016-05-23T10:03:17.838-04:002016-05-23T10:03:17.838-04:00We are SO looking forward to this wedding, and the...We are SO looking forward to this wedding, and the shower was So.

"help with anything and everything and be quiet" Perfect advice!<br /><br />I keep telling myself that I had my wedding, it was fabulous (even with a few angsty moments), and this wedding is THEIRS. So we help out where we can and have fun watching it all come together.<br /><br />And the makeup on the wedding dress!!! My dress did okay until the receiving line. Hugs with makeup smudges...they really do a number on a beautiful dress!<br /><br />(Is it too late to ask all of the guests to forego makeup on that day?)<br /><br />And Carrie decided on an indoor venue early on. Weather in the Black Hills is unpredictable at best, and counting on a nice Saturday in June when you're six months out is just asking for trouble! So I think there are plans for a few outdoor pictures - if the weather permits - but everything else is indoors. :)<br /><br />And we plan to laugh it up to the max! Such a fun, blessed time should never be marred with worries about details. Like Carrie says, as long as she's there, and Josh, and our pastor, everything is fine. All the other details are just extras.Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-79535727128211185792016-05-23T09:56:18.056-04:002016-05-23T09:56:18.056-04:00I could swear I've had this dip before, Jan, t...I could swear I've had this dip before, Jan, though I don't know why. Perhaps I even had the recipe. Then again, I'm not firing on all cylinders yet. Must go look.<br /><br />As for wedding advice, roll with it. At least one thing will not go according to plan. Do what you can and let God take care of the rest. Oh, and keeping the bride calm is always good, too. ;)Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-24787178273857293802016-05-23T09:54:07.124-04:002016-05-23T09:54:07.124-04:00It IS exciting!

And by normal, I mean slightly dysfunctional but they love God and their kids and they're not afraid to work, so in my book: NORMAL!!!!<br /><br />The minute I saw that sign, I wondered if Carrie was a fan because I saw that episode on Netflix....:) Beth is a fan, too, and even the older kids love watching Joanna create a new vision. They think she's amazing.<br /><br />Okay, weddings.... Mine was a rather angst-filled affair for a variety of reasons, so I decided way back then that when my children got married, I would help with anything and everything and be quiet.<br /><br />You know this is a trick for me, but it's worked for six weddings so far, and two more to go.... And they've been all different and beautiful.<br /><br />1. You can't change the weather, arrange for indoor venue for pictures if Mother Nature thwarts you and don't worry... It will all be fine.<br /><br />2. Wedding Day: I got videos (no Netflix then) of funny bridal movies... The Wedding Singer, Father of the Bride, Princess Bride and we watched those while eating breakfast, getting hair done, etc. Each bride had a different level of formality in mind, but these movies made them laugh and remember that life goes on...<br /><br />3. Don't touch the wedding gown with make-up on. This isn't from my weddings, but several times over my years at Bridal Hall we had to remove Mom's or Auntie's or Bride's mascara, or pricey oil-based lipstick from a gown because they got carried away during fittings or wedding morning... It's not an easy job, and it's time-consuming because both bleed into fabric... so avoid that mistake.<br /><br />4. Laugh a lot. There's enough to fuss over, and again, depending on bride's personality, there's things that might be upsetting to one that another will shrug off... but if we learn not to sweat the small stuff with weddings and kids, more people stay alive.<br /><br />:)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-41716801856034809732016-05-23T04:22:43.741-04:002016-05-23T04:22:43.741-04:00So exciting!
