Wedding Day!

today is the wedding
the eldest becomes a husband
and takes his wife with love
i will watch with a heart filled 
with joy, and tears of happiness

i watch them together very often
and can see they have become one
they finish each others sentences
many thoughts they have are the same
he looks for her, as she looks for him

i don't remember the last time i have
witnessed such young love
in such a close manner
and each moment i cherish
to see them is pure

even tho i am not his mother
my heart feels as a mother would
letting go, and watching them
start their journey 
together as man and wife 
emotions are very strong

i will look to the altar as i walk in church
to see my three IS's standing there
one becoming the husband
and the other two standing at his
side as the best men

i will watch, and be grateful for what
i have been blessed with
and think, how did i get so lucky

my heart is filled
they all complete me
they give me my strength
they have made my life 
a precious one

yes grateful, very grateful

    Happy Saturday!

    Carol, I am so happy for you! The big day is finally here!

    I know this is so special for you!

    We're off to a bbq this afternoon. I am kinda looking forward to being a guest, rather than the host!

    We love to have parties and entertain, I am just really enjoying the fact that I won't have to clean up! haha :)

    Hi Barb, how is Canton doing???

    Hi Tina, Mo, Lynn and Dee.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    What, is everyone at a wedding or something?

    Tina, from a couple A51's ago, I did know you came from a "school" family. The woman I wrote about (Jamie Brown Jamie Brown Jamie Brown) is in my eyes, a criminal. The principal who knew about the crap she was pulling (Mr. Ackerman Mr. Ackerman Mr. Ackerman) is corrupt and an accessory to a crime. The school district that ignored all this (Oak Park Unified Oak Park Unified Oak Park Unified... in Oak Park, California, just in case there are any doubts), is just a good ol' boys' club. I DARE anyone I mentioned to come after me for Libel. What fun that would be!!

    So glad you had a good time at the wedding, Carol! I'm still waiting for my date to arrive. What ever happened to, "Pick you up at 6"? I'll check out the pics whilst I wait.

    CAROL...here at Italian weddings there is an abundance of confetti (jordan almonds - many actually import them from Sulmona) and cookies. Regardless of the hall or banquet room, relatives bake cookies...hundreds of cookies!That is in addition to the cake!

    When my cousin got married a few years ago there was actually a cookie room...thousands of cookies!

    Was this wedding like that?

    Good Morning Everyone: First, I wanted to thank all of you for the good wishes that have been sent to me. No DEEDEE, I am not able to use that lipstick yet (Area 51).

    BARB: Don't let your son take that Bronco bag to the Raider game. They are kind of mean and they might grab it from him and rip it up.

    JODI: Loved the video and can't wait for fall and you and I both love football!! Glad to see you are cheering on my team but we have to give some hope to Minn to since my FF QB is Favre.

    LYNND: Get those pom poms out as we are playing you today at home. We always hope/think we will win at home :)

    CAROL: I loved the video and pictures. The dance they all did for the bride and groom was so funny.

    I am venturing out today with my chair pillow in hand to my friends house for her Bronco party. We will see how that goes.

    Have a good day everyone.
