My Daughter Is A Bride...

Yes, today among a small group of family and friends, Mary said her "I Do" and is now a happily married woman. They had a civil ceremony and she sweetly asked Gabriella to be her Maid of Honor" which thrilled Gabriella to no end!
The boys and I watched the clock all morning as the time for her nuptials approached. We called her yesterday and today to wish her well. I told the boys that if she didn't call by a certain time I'd worry because I figured that she'd call me when they were 'official.' David called on his lunch break and we chatted for a bit, then my call waiting clicked in and it was Mary. I was so excited that I told David and I think I hung up on him before saying goodbye! LOL Her first words were, "Hi Mama, I am finally a married woman!" She sounded SO happy. Of course I couldn't wait to see pix and she delightedly sent me dozens. I just wish I could have been there. When we return home in August, we'll have the reception with ALL the family & friends, everyone will be dressed up, they will renew their vows before us all, do the formal dances etc. Only three more weeks! I can't wait to see her and I'm looking forward to meeting my new 'son' too.
Now without further adieu.....


My MIL,Gabriella, Mary & Jonathon
