Getting ready

Well, there is less than 3 days left until the big event. My sister will be getting married on Saturday evening at six pm. I am not sure who is more ready - my sister or my mom. My mom is fretting terribly over her dress and the weather. First, she has a beautiful pink formal dress to wear. At first, she didn't like the straps (or lack there of) so she had straps added (luckily we are all short and there was PLENTY left after the hemming). Then, she decided it was too loose in the bust so, she had it taken in. Well now, three trips to the dress shop later - she has a heine crack down the middle of her back. The problem with all of this is that the dress has a JACKET. So, you would not see whether it had straps or not and my mother is a very petite lady - so you would never guess she had a back crack under the jacket. Oh well,.... The next problem is the weather; at first, it was sunny skies and mild temperature. Then it changed to 90 degree thundershowers. I am more worried about the 90 degrees than the thundershowers. You want to watch somebody melt - imagine the sight of my two Popsicle/water dependent boys baking in a full, three piece tux! (while trying to be cute, kind, respectful, polite, etc.) Irregardless of the weather, my mom's dress, my boy's temperature issues, and all the other things that will be a challenge / go wrong - next to the day they prayed to receive Christ, this will be the most important day of their lives. So, for the next three days those of us that love them dearly will sacrifice our blood, sweat and tears to make their dream day a reality; so that Sunday morning and every other morning for the rest of their lives they will wake up "Mr. & Mrs."
