I am a Mother-in-law!!!!
My eldest son married his long time - they've been together since he was 17 and she was 18 - girl friend last Saturday.
It was a great day. The bride did a great job of planning it all.
I am still exhausted not just from the celebrations but also all the rushing about that went on in the week running up to it. The rushing around that had to be slotted in around me finishing off the bridesmaid's dresses...
I really enjoyed making the dresses, but I do have to admit to a FAIL of epic proportions whereby I sewed the wrong sized lining into one of the dresses. A fact I only discovered *on the day of the wedding* so - bless her - the youngest 'maid walked up the aisle with her lining almost totally picked to pieces.
And because I want this to be a happy HAPPY *HAPPY* post there'll probably be another one in a couple of days about all the other drama going on in our lives.
