Thirteen Days And Counting

Well, we have worked on decorating the reception site for
the past two Saturdays and I plan to go over today after
church as well. As of today, only thirteen days to the
wedding! Thirteen more days before my daughter is married
and has a different last name. Ouch! That makes it sound
like she is no longer my daughter. Who made up that
tradition anyway? Why can't he take her name? Just
kidding... well... yeah, just kidding... kinda...

I guess you could consider me officially freaked out. I
have thought about her wedding day many times over the
years. Have you ever watched the movie "Father of the
Bride" with Steve Martin? Well, that is me. The first time
I saw it (and every time since) I cried. I can't help it,
funny as the movie is, it pulls at my heart strings. There
is a scene where his daughter is telling him she is
getting married. As he is listening to her, he suddenly
sees her as a little girl with pig tails. Wow, can I
relate!
