Signing off with a major update.....

Ladies, your support has been very encouraging throught the past several months....and it is still needed.  Here goes. 

Last week my sister told she cannot be in the wedding as she does not have the money for her and my nieces and nephews.  Basically, she did not pay on anything during the past 7 months (yes, this includes the deposit for the dresses..my MOH did that for her).  Well, now with 3 days until the big day, I feel just like the weather (it's raining here, no sunshine).  Here is more...yesterday I was to take my nieces and nephew for the girls' final fitting.  Well, my nephew was sick so the girls had to stay home (sis had class).  I called my sis and asked can she take the girls for the fitting Friday and her response "I don't know when they are going."  Ok.  So she then told me she does not know where the money is going to come from (for the final payment of dresses, nephew's tux, and the girls' hair).

So, I am devastated, but am trying to allow excitement to surface.  Right now, I am so scared I will fall apart Sunday if my nieces and nephews are not in the wedding.  I am very close with them and they have been looking forward to this for months. I offerred to help some, but it may not be enough.

So ladies, I am signing off as I rush off to the salon.  Again, thank you a million times over!! This board has helped me through some mess!!!!  Please keep my family and me in prayer as FI and I enter thee final countdown to our forever!!!!!

YAY!!

God bless you!

    God will make a way for your nieces and nephews to be in the wedding - I am claiming that in advance!!!  I pray that you have a beautiful and fulfilling wedding day and that you are able to remain calm and joyful during these last few days leading up to it.  Whatever happens, you will be joined together with the man of your dreams on Sunday and that is the most important thing!!!!  Congrats and please come back with a recap and pictures when you can!

    This saddens me, but I know that all will work out and your day will be beautiful and special.

    My suggestion for the kids, can y'all just dress them up in Sunday's best...sometimes the little things (i.e. special ordered gowns, hair, "wedding shoes", etc.) really are just that...little things. Curl up the little ones real cute with a church dress on (white if possible or some color that coordinates) and put the little man in a nice pair of slacks and shirt/tie and let them work their magic. You won't regret it and I can tell they mean so much to you.
