She is married.
May 20, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. on a lovely pier, my beloved daughter walked on the arm of her daddy into the arms of the man who loves her dearly.
It was a beautiful and brief ceremony.
The reception was under a tent on the water. Bride and groom danced magnificently to Moon River and bride and daddy danced to Forever Young by Rod Stewart.
The newlyweds departed on a boat provided by the groom's brother.
They did the whole wedding.
I hosted a small bridal brunch Sunday morning. We had a fun time. She was so happy and relaxed all day.
She had made a lovely headpiece out of vintage netting and beads. It was to sit on top of her head and the veil would just come beneath her nose. She said she wanted me to sweep some hair over the crown area of the headpiece. I had my doubts, but started working with it as directed!
I wasn't feeling it. . . but it wasn't my wedding! I kept encouraging her that when the hairdo was complete, she would love it.
She finally said, "Mom, the headpiece looks like a cake topper and the hair on top looks like a cinnabun!!" I was relieved!
She took apart the headpiece so I would have the netting only to work with. At that point, it started working. I could see the netting nestled into her nape under the big flower she wanted to wear. "I should know Mom, to just tell you how I am feeling and let you create. Those are always the best 'does!"
When I finished, she literally jumped up and down, thrilled with her hair. "It is perfect, just perfect, I just LOVE it!"
The photographer was not there to catch the moment. But we will never forget it.

Beautiful!
Do you know the sentimental old fool in me had tears beginning in my eyes as I read this and remembered my own son's wedding
Beautiful.
Not sure we'll ever get to this with my son there is a singular lack of interest in the opposite sex, music and particle physics seem more important at the moment... :-)
