This last weekend started the actual countdown to the December wedding. My daughter in love had her first wedding shower down in San Clemente. We stayed at a hotel in Laguna Hills for the night. Most of the time was spent with her family. Her dad's home, where the wedding will be held, is very nice and has a good layout for the wedding. The decorating has already begun! We really enjoyed visiting with her family. We had already met her Dad and her Step Mom, but I also met her Mother, Grandmother, and little sis at the shower. My husband and son played golf with her dad while the ladies attended the wedding shower. It was so sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We did take time to sneak a peak at the ocean as it was only 3 miles away. We arrived home at 12:15 a.m., tired, but very at peace with the wedding plans.
One of the highlights for me was when I was told by my son that she had already picked the song that she and her dad would dance to... but we needed to pick the song for the groom and his mom to dance to. He remembered that I used to sing "Baby Mine" from Dumbo to him all the time when he was a child. That took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. Of course that is not a "dancing" song, so we will choose something else, but still... it touched this mom's heart!
So, now to getting the house ready for bible study tonight. Then I will start the long range planning of our wedding shower to be held at the end of October. And so it begins! :-)
