Pickles & Chapstick: one wedding down

Phew! One wedding down, one more to go. I hear stories about women who are in several weddings over the course of "wedding season" and I have no idea how they do it. My mother's wedding took the place the other weekend. I loved the dress she chose and I'm so happy she's happy. It's also pretty awesome she got to return to Europe for her honeymoon and is having a wonderful time.

I did learn that you can plan the heck out of something and something will go wrong and they did. My beautiful bridesmaids dress had an altering issue and I had to find something else (very quickly and I hated the dress). Scary organ music + toddlers don't mix. I already knew Charlie wouldn't sit for 30 minutes. So I decided I'd be the one to hang out with him and run around with him while the ceremony was going on and my mom had one of her friends fill in as maid of honor. There were several other issues that kept popping up as the night went on but by the end of the night, who cares? All that matters is she had a wonderful day, she looked beautiful and she was surrounded by the ones she loved.
