7 More Days Until Wedding Day for My Daughter

Counting down to the wedding day and now I'm getting really antsy! These two did not finalize any plans or talk about them over the holidays. In fact, they didn't really have a conversation about it until last night after I asked my daughter specific questions, trying to get a feel of what she needed/wanted us to do. We had already volunteered to stay at their house with the kids that night so they could have a night away and alone. Last night, this is what I got out of here. Her best friend Adriane is now unsure of if she will be in on Friday or Saturday. She needs me to bring the sash from another wedding dress I had bought for her sister that is at my house. She thinks the one that came with hers is too short. She didn't have help when trying the dress on. The lady had a broken wrist and could not fix the back and tie it like it should be, so she is in a panic over that now. Her own daughter only has one more day of school to miss for the rest of the year. So should she pull her or send her to school? I asked if she found shoes to go with her dress. NO! Not sure if we will all go out to dinner after ceremony or back to their house and eat. Oh and we have a low temperature projected that Friday night of 27, so that makes getting up and dressed a bit impossible with those low temperatures. I told my hubby we can dress at their house. My daughter wants us there early, she needs help with the dress. So, this looks like it will be a drama filled week with a blizzard on the way! I think I will just tell them all to Be Happy! I want a peaceful week! Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

Thank you. This should be her lucky break, third marriage. She had two cheaters before. She is due a break and a good husband. We love him!

I'm going to be totally looney by the end of this week between the weather and this wedding.

The wedding went off very well. The only glitch was my daughter leaving her vows at the house and having to go back and get them. It made the ceremony start a little late, but all was good!!

@kareng Thankfully, she was close enough where she had the opportunity to go back and get her vows; otherwise she would have had to wing it.

She is just juggling work, kids, bizarre weather and snow, and preparations for wedding this week. Not too easy with all the distractions!

Whether the dress is right, or her friend comes in, they will be married. Take a deep breath, help her decide about her daughter and school absence. What will they do to her if her daughter misses? Sometimes the principal or the school board can over ride those limits if the student is not failing or struggling.

It is a truancy matter . She is in excellent standings with her grades. I think she is going to pick her up after lunch so that she won't have an absent count against her.

It is not a big wedding. Just immediate family and a couple friends. They are planning on doing another wedding or bigger one in the Fall. Or may just do a big reception. We will see.

You really have alot happening this week that you need to tend to, besides the unexpected things that will crop up. With it being that cold will you get snow too? I really hope that you get some rest today so that you can tackle the upcoming week.

We have snow in the forecast on Tuesday with up to 5 inches!! Our low Tuesday night is supposed to be 12F and that will put us minus for sure with wind chill!! Not the typical mild southern weather at all!! It will definitely be a "unique" week!
