~ One More Day ~

Yeap, hard to believe but tomorrow is the big day.  Renee and Mike will say their vows and move forward with their life, venturing into a whole new experience.  She just left and was on her way to her mom's to finish up a few last minute things, take a bath, and get a good nights sleep.  ::cough cough::  She's a little like me and I seriously doubt that will happen.  I hope the soothing warm bath will relax her and get into a 'zone.'  It's been a crazy week for her.  She was notified by the florist the other day that her flowers froze.  They were stranded on a plane out on the tarmac during the storm.  She wanted Bells of Ireland in her arrangements, and luckily the florist was able to have more sent in time.  The added stresses of weddings!   I took pictures at her cousin's wedding over the summer and I thought these of her and Mike came out so cute.  I played this evening and created this.  I love how the hazed shot of them kissing looks on the background.  She saw it and absolutely loved it and we had to print it on photo paper.  I'm sure she'll find something to do with it.  She selected Wild Child by Enya to play while she danced with her Dad.  It's not a real common song so we typed up the lyrics and printed them.  She will have them placed on the tables so those attending will know the words.  I found the video on you tube and thought I'd post it here for those interested.  You have to know her, but let me tell you this is perfect!!! 

 

 

            


 


My day was pretty hectic as well.  I will let you know my shoes did arrive and they fit.  Well, they are a bit loose, but they will work.  I think I lost weight in my feet.  Is that possible?  I know they didn't get any narrower............ but I do think they are .. ummm... lighter?  LOL  It's absolutely frigid outside and will be sloppy or icy without a doubt.  I might have to wear boots and change at the church and then again at the hall.  Once my feet get cold, I'm cold.  We'll see.  I have my hair appointment at 10, and then I'm pretty much free until I go to the church.  I will arrive early as the girls will be dressing there.  You know me.  I have to get pictures.  I will probably drive you all nuts with pictures over the next few days.  Fair warning.   Can you tell I'm a bit excited? 

 

Hugs

What stresses during the week before a wedding.  I have to say that they were very brave to plan a wedding this time of year in Buffalo.  My four cousins have lived in Buffalo all their lives.  One got married around Thanksgiving one year.  We were stranded after the wedding for 3 days because the thruway closed.

The picture is lovely.  I know it's going to be a beautiful wedding.  Such a beautiful song for her and her dad to dance to.  Can't wait to see the pictures...take one of the shoes..lol.  Love ya, Chris

Yep, you sure are excited....lol! Wishing you a wonderful day!
And for the couple I am sending positive thoughts and my best wishes!
Love what you've created with the lovely pictures.
Hugs, Maria

I think you can lose weight in your feet, Donna.  My SIL lost about 30 lbs, and the other day she went to put on a pair of shoes, and they were too big.  So.. I think you can! :)  

I love the song by Enya.. in fact, I just love Enya!  The picture you put together looks so nice!  The way you put them in 3 different poses, all blended together like that!  I can see why she would want to print it out and keep it.

I hope you have a mahvahlous time, dahling... be sure and take pictures, and let us know all the details! :)

PS  I know what you mean about when your feet get cold, you get cold all over.  That's me.  I'm the same way!

Hugs

Donna, wondrful lpictures of the lovely couple. You did a great job. You will have to tell me how to do that. I have a lot from my sons wedding I would like to try to do something with.
Will Bug be at the wedding? My grandaughter had so much fun at ours.
Hair done, shoes fit, nails look good and it is almost three months since the surgery and you should be able to smile wide and eat well.
Enjoy it, I love weddings.
Best of everything to the newly weds. Bill

I love Enya!  Renee sounds like an interesting person.  Wishing her the best in life with her new husband.  I'll have to look up those words..that was a great idea printing up the word for the tables.  I bet it was a great wedding.   Maria

The flopwers froze?  Good grief!  A good reminder why I live in the south.  It sounds like things are coming along nicely with the wedding plans.  Glad to hear the shoes fit.  Good luck with everything!
