Without going into huge amounts of detail, my oldest was married Saturday and is the first to move out of the house. It's been such a huge amount of work these last several months and even more so the last few weeks. My wife has probably been hit hardest with an overly demanding work load in preparation for the big day. She made all the bride's maid dresses, as well as many of the decorations used for the reception. Praise God for a good woman.
Yeah, I know the brides family is supposed to be in charge of wedding plans etc, but we knew this just was not going to happen for our son's wedding. We offered to helped where we could and all things considered, everything went off pretty well. More importantly, the newly married couple was happy with everything and are now off to enjoy a nice, albeit brief, honeymoon in Mexico.
As for me and my lady, we enjoyed a nice steak and a good red wine for dinner last night in the company of a few very close friends. I ended the evening with a nice smoke and went to bed with the knowledge that all the mind-bending details of the wedding were past. All I had to do now was return a couple of tuxedos and a few other things. It felt good and believe me, I had no trouble going to sleep Sat night.
One last footnote; Mike (preembargo), who as many of you know, doubles as a "Cigartender" on the weekends, went out of his way to help my son pick out a fantastic gift for me. A desktop humi, a very nice ashtray, and some great smokes. My son presented it to me Friday night at the rehearsal dinner. Very well done indeed. Thanks Mike!!
