Second Weddings

Checklist update

I finally was able to move a little bit with my check list:
- reception venue - contracted signed and payment done
- DJ - contract signed and payment done
- Florist - waiting for the contract
- Cake - waiting for the contract
- Wedding Planner - waiting for the contract
- Church - waiting for the contract

Things in the final negotiations:
- Desserts
-Menu for after party
- bridesmaid dresses

Things that I need to work on:
- Invitation and Papers
- Wedding gown
- Groom and groomsmen suits
- Honeymoon
- Transportation
- Favor

I also figured out a way to honoring my deceased son thoughout the whole wedding; one of my colors is grenn, his favorite color, I will have one of his musics to dance with my others two sons, and I will carry his picture in a locker attached to my bouquet. I know that he will be smiling from the heaven upon us on our wedding day!

    Thanks a lot girls, it has been a bitter sweet time for me; sometimes is really difficult and I cry just to mention the name of my son. But I know deep down that my mission in this life is not done and I have to keep going for my other two sons, my husband to be, my grandson, my daughter in law, my stepdaughter and for everything that the lord still wants me to do.
    Your encouragement during this time means a lot for me!!

    Congrats on all the checks!

    I also felt teary about your memorial to your son. {{{HUGS}}} I understand totally your feelings about going on about your life for the rest of your family. My brother passed away 38 years ago, leaving me an only child. My parents were, and continue to be, awesome about making sure this tragedy did not affect their love and attention to me, and now to my kids. My brother is never forgotten, and my kids know he has a special place for my parents and myself. I'll also have his picture in a locket attached to my bouquet, as if he were here, he'd be in the bridal party.

    It's the hardest thing to do, to go on, but I give you significant props for rising above it and understanding that everyone else still needs you. Bless you.
