Dress Fitting

Well I can't describe the feeling of watching my baby get her dress fitted last night for her wedding. She looked like an angel all surrounded in white. I can not go into detail of what it looked like but she was glowing and had a sparkle in her eye. I will miss her.

The dressmaker Amy found is in Hockessin named Jennifer's off of Old Lancaster Pike. The shop was old-fashion with all kinds of lace and frill's everywhere. You felt like you stepped back in time, when things like a wedding was thought of as a rite of passing and the most important thing a women could do, was to marry the man she loved. Like you read in a romance novel or as for me I heard and saw from my mom.

The way the lighting and the manner of the seamstress made you feel like you were the only one getting married ever!! The attention to detail, how the bride (in this case Amy) was nervous about having her gown cut and how she was going to make it like the way Amy had envisioned was all handle with kindness and you did not feel rushed. I definitely will be taking Beth there to get her gown altered also. So if you need a seamstress I would recommend the shop, her name is Susan.

So now the gown is in the hands of a wonderful seamstress but it is in good hands.

Will post how it turned out in about March when we go for finally fitting.

Wedding Stuff again!

Hope everyone is not getting sick of hearing about the wedding but it is my life at the moment and these are my thoughts.

Last weekend we took another trip cake tasting. It turned out that we found a great cake person, Cake's by Meredith from Mangolia Delaware, I think this is how you spell the name of the town. We are very happy with her cakes. It was quite different then the first cake tasting we went to. Meredith differently knew what she was doing. We had 5 different cakes to taste and choose from with 3 different fillings. We were shown pictures or her work, explained her policy, delivery, and her timing on things. Unlike the other place where we had more questions when we left then when we got there.

The next day, Sunday, we had Floyd's graduation from Wilmington College. He graduated with a BS in Accounting with a minor in Finances. We are very proud of him and the hard work it took to achieve that.

This past weekend Stephanie, Nicole and I took care of some bridal shower things in the morning. Sorry again for not going into detail but the bride (Amy) looks here too. Then Pam, Kim, Beth and Nicole meet at Stephanie's for more bridal shower going on's and from what I was told got a lot done and settled. We then went to Floyd's graduation party and had a great time but boy and I tired after a long day.

I can not believe that the wedding is only 3 months away. It will be here before I know it and my first baby will be married. She will have a house of her own and a husband to take care of and love. I know she will be happy and that she will grow as the years go by into a wonderful wife and hopefully some day a mother herself. Then she will get the full impact of how full you life is and the rich blessing you get from being a mother and wife the two greatest callings for a woman I think. This is my dearest wish for her.

I will try and post pictures from the graduation soon, since I got a new camera I have not figured out how to download them onto my computer yet.

A Busy Weekend

So much went on this weekend. First the girls and I went out to eat at "Cheeseburger in Paradise" to celebrate Pam's finishing her PRAXIS test and the bridal party getting together. We had a fun night.


Then on Saturday we caravaned down to the Rehoboth Beach Country Club to show the girls and to taste test the food so we can make a decision on what to serve. Boys were in one car and girls were in another. I don't have to tell you that we had a blast going down a lot of talking and laughing. We got to the RBCC and we were taken to a room and sat at a table and served 5 of the dishes to choose from. The food was great and it was a tough decision but we did it. We toured the building and got our questions answered. We are set in that department and I can rest easy for a moment.

We picked the color of the tableclothes, napkins, chair covers, still deciding on the color of sash for the chairs, who walks with who and how they will enter, what food to serve, where the seating will be, where the girls will get ready, what time the guys need to be there, and the girls, when the rehersal will be, plus the time of rehersal,having Mair work with Cheryl at RBCC, gave vendors list to Cheryl, what to do in case of rain, where the girls will stand before they are announced, how the guys will be at the arch, who will stand at the arch with Floyd, and other details. This was the discussion and decisions that were made that day.





Then after we were finished with the details of the wedding, off we went to our first taste testing for cake. It was a women Amy found online who lived in the Bethany Beach area, not far from where we were. We caravaned to the house. Called to see if it was ok since we were an hour early and it was so we went inside. We were seated and given a slice of a three layer cake with a strawberry filling. Amy had asked for strawberry since it is Floyd's favorite. After everyone tasted the cake we kind of was waiting for the next flavor to come to find out that that was all she had for us. So we thanked her and left.

Now I have never been to one before but I thought there would have been more then one kind of cake to test. Who knows??? I hope next weeks tasting will go better. I will keep you posted.


The weekend is not over... After the cake tasting we grabbed something to eat at Grotto"s and headed home. We drop everyone off and headed to Stephanie's house for a pow wow on the Bridal shower. Sorry I can not give more detail as the bride (AKA AMY) also reads my blog and she would be sneaky enough to look. :)

Wedding Central

Well as you can see the wedding plans are in full swing. We have turned our dining room into WEDDING CENTRAL. It is the hub of all activities. All planning and thinking goes on here. The decisions are in the minds and we need to hash them out here. Yes there will be arguing, crying, difference of opinions, indecisions, smiles and I am sure laughing.

We have 4 months to count down and I know we can make it.:)
