And so it begins....

 Jess and my Mother

The countdown begins, my nephews wedding is just about 2 months away. The wedding shower was last weekend, and it was great. Jess was so thrilled, she was def nervous, but all went without a hitch. I toasted her, and the words I remember the most (they asked me at the shower and I had nothing prepared) was "Jess is a wonderful addition to our family, and she will be an amazing wife and mother. We are thrilled." I meant every word, this person who just a few short years ago was unknown to me has become such a special person in my life. Not only to me, but to my SIL and my parents as well. What I love the most about Jess, is you can see the love in her eyes for IS#1. It is so sweet to see her with him, and he with her. Young love is certainly a sight. I am enjoying every minute of seeing them together.

I have chosen my dress, as well as my mother and SIL, we had a fashion show the other night with all three of us, trying on our dresses. I had forgotten the laughter, but that night they both reminded me to take a moment and laugh. My SIL purchased her dress at Diane and Co, in Freehold NJ. There is a reality show on Oxygen called Jersey Couture, Diane and Co is the store the show is filmed at. My SIL and mother said the owner was just as she is on TV. So funny how New Jersey has all these reality shows. Who would have thought my SIL would have found a dress there. I actually recommended that she go there, and she is so thankful, her dress is gorgeous. The day after our "fashion show" my SIL called to tell me, that she loved the dress I had chosen and that it looked great on me. She knows how self conscious I am, so her call made that night even more special. 

So, now we move onto to the next step, which is just counting the days till they are Man and Wife. I just hope I can control my crazy self, and not cry like a fool. But truth be told not sure if I can, and ya know, really, what does it matter, they will certainly be happy tears.
