M.O.B.

  I have a new title this weekend.

I'm the official

M.O.B.

I'm the Mother of the Bride.

This weekend our family

and the groom's family

are gathering on Sanibel Island, Florida

for a wonderful wedding celebration.

Here comes the Bride

The M.O.B. has several important roles to fill.

I hope I have been a good listener,

 a cheerleader,

and a constant source of support for my lovely daughter.

We have discussed locations,

dresses,

menus

ceremonies

budgets

and the hope for the perfect tropical sunset.

I have found the perfect outfit.

A couple of months ago I went into 

our local Chico's store and 

the wonderful staff there helped me find

just the right things for a beach wedding in May.

I could be in their catalog.

I'm ready to be "the hostess with the mostest" for

all 15 people attending.

I'll be there for any last minute support, 

last minute details and 

calming of nerves.

So as I wipe away a tear or two

as I watch my daughter transition from my little girl 

to somebody's wife

I know it will be a beautiful and special day

full of wonderful memories for all of us.

Until Next Time-
