I have learned as mother of the bride, to just stand back and let things happen.
1. I am not a fashion guru. I am a mom.
2. Sisters will be brutally honest with each other, and it's okay.
3. I have also learned to answer a question with a question. I think this is what Jesus did.
Ex: Does this dress make me look fat? Hon, do you think it makes you look fat?
4. Don't make a decision until you've eaten something. Food feeds the brain & it also helps you to not make a hasty decision. Plus, it gives me time to figure out how I'm going to break the news to my dear husband the cost of this dress. 5.It doesn't matter who your daughter is, what she looks like,how tall, short, wide, thin, blue eyes, brown... she will always be the most beautiful bride ever. And the groom is DARN lucky to have her.
Later on this Bridal Saga . Wedding date: Tentatively July 31, 2010
