we decided we're getting hitched about 2 months ago -- After 8 yrs. , a house and a child together, we said "what they heck..let's do IT" . I have been married once and my man has never been married. So, we tell my family and mom says to me "y the celebration, if you've been down this road before"...talk about deflating!
So, my response was "well, I haven't done it with this person & we still want to celebrate in some way becasue it IS worth celebrating" -- that was the end of the discussion. Since then, there's been some lack of enthusiasm , but today she called to say that she's got all the dessert lists together (she's an awesome baker and will be doing all the desserts) and her shoes all ready to go. So, that was a nice treat to hear.
