Melissa asked me if I could shoot a few pictures of the guys at the hotel before the wedding. I had my makeup and hair done, was wearing sweats and sandals, and had lots of laughs with the guys just before I got dressed and left for the church. It worked out great!:-)
Here are both of my boys. I love this picture:
Nick wore a medallion with my mother's picture on his boutenniere, and there was also one on the flowers that I carried. Sigh....it was a surprise for me, and I can not tell you how much it meant to me.
It was a beautiful mass and Melissa looked stunning!
Here are all of my "kids"....Steve with Miss J, Jay, N, and Melissa. I love them all soooo much
This last image says it all.
Personally, it was a very emotional day for me. My Mom really wanted to be able to go to this wedding. I know she was there with us in spirit and I know how proud she is of N!!! My Dad also could not attend the wedding. He was in the hospital. Although it has been such a difficult couple of months for our family, this was a perfect day in every way. We are so happy and so blessed.

Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time visiting your blog. I spent a little time reading several of your posts and I was quite touched by them. I chose to leave my comment on this one, because I love weddings and seeing pictures of brides and grooms on their special day, your son and his bride look lovely! I'm sorry for the loss of your Mom. I lost my Mom just a year ago, I know how you feel. Mom and Dad were married 64 years and my Dad is lost without her. As I read some of your posts, I notice many similar situations between our parents. Remember the good times and cherish the memories. It will help you, it helped me...especially the first year.
Have a blessed Easter,
Dawn

Thank you for the reply Dawn. I'm glad you found this blog, and I will be visiting your site as well. I'm also sorry for the loss of your Mom. It's never easy, no matter how old they are. I hope your Dad is doing well.
