Hi Karla,
Well, we are down to one week before the wedding. There still is so much to do!!!! We have about 350 people who have said they are coming and believe it or not we still have about 30 folks we havn't heard from!!!!
Sometimes I think it would be nice to just have a small wedding. This will be one big party!!!!
We're looking forward to all the friends and family who are coming to town for the event

We gave our kids a choice..either a big wedding or a check.
All were different, one wanted a full big church wedding, two took checks and got married in a small, private event, each had different ideas. one married way across the country when DH was seriously ill so we could not attend.

If they don't make it, don't worry. This day is about a union between the bride and groom, if others miss it it's their problem.
Don't obsess about it, make it a joyous event. Let go and have a marvelous time. Share pictures with us.

Daughter informed me that we invited 515 people to this event. We are serving a buffet dinner of Tacos, Cheese enchiladas chips and salsa.
There will be lots of dancing. This is the third daughter to get married in just over 3 years.
All we have left is a son who's almost 22 and hopefully not getting married any time soon!!!

It always amazes me when I read or hear about a large wedding. I don't even know that many people. lol When Pat and I go married there were a total of 9 people involoved, and that was plenty.

Hope the event is wonderful with loads of laughter, happiness, and memories galore.

My thoughts exactly!

Gayle--I just read on your quilt post about your daughter getting married--and I couldn't believe I'd missed it. I searched your posts and found this one!! I wish you had sent a PM--I wasn't on the forum for weeks due to busyness.... I want to hear all about it! Are there pictures??? Oh wait--I'll go back and search again.... :lol:

Ummmmmm ...... I didn't post anything. Wasn't sure if anyone would be interested. It was wonderful. Beautiful day!! We had about 460 people come. She was a very beautiful bride.
If you want me to post a couple pics, I will try and do that. It may be this weekend, maybe.
