My son 's wedding

[Guest guest]

Sorry I have not been on to tell about the

wedding. Everything was pretty wonderful. They had a DJ who was

also a magician (and a good one at that!) who kept us all entertained with his

magic acts and with the music. He also had 2 doves who were a part of his

act. They had a photographer too of course. Don’t

know as I got in many shots as for some reason (instinct I guess) everytime he

went to take a shot of me I turned away! I really don’t know why,

it was totally unconscious and unintentional. I sure know I look better

than I have in years probably better than I ever will again so that should have

been my golden opportunity to have some nice pics of me too! Oh well, too

late now.

Now for the menu: For hors

d’oeuvres they had jumbo shrimp and cocktail sauce, pepperoni, cheese and

crackers, mixed fruit with optional whipped topping. Then for the

main course they had prime rib, chicken, mashed potatoes, toss salad,

rolls. They spent a lot of money on the whole affair. The

“kids” paid for a good share of it and even borrowed money to pull

off such a spectacular event. Hated to see them go into debt for it

though. They wanted to have it on the day that they did as it

was their 3rd anniversary of their first date but

unfortunately that meant that a lot of the invited guest ended up not coming as

it was on a Friday. It did rather disappoint and upset me that many who

have RSVP’ed that they would attend did not show up as of course they had

planned on food for them and so spend a lot of extra money that they did not

need to spend. I would hate to say how much they must have spent per

guest. It also was upsetting to me as many of those people were family

who I insisted my son invite so he had to take some of his friends off of the list of invitees as they

were trying to keep the list at a certain number (which I forget now what it was). I

am sure his friends would have show up (and brought a gift too) where these

family member did not show nor send a gift either. I also know they did

not forget as some I had reminded and others I found out later just decided to

change their plans and do something else. I am not saying this just

because it was my son’s wedding but I have been to a lot of weddings over

the years and this was the most elaborate one I have ever attended. It

was very well planned and was obvious that a lot of thought, effort and money

had gone into it. Darlene
