WOW is all I can say about my son's recent wedding this weekend. It was held at a vineyard and winery in the Okanagan. The view was exquisite and the weather cooperated except for a few tense hours in the morning.
My new inlaws, especially my daughter in law's mother was over the top in the orchestrating of the whole affair and it was exactly as her daughter had dreamed. Sure don't know I can ever top that one but then again, my daughter has dreams of her own and will probably not even allow me to make suggestions. She will let me assist HER but it will be all her doing.
My son had chosen to honour our Scottish heritage complete with a kilt, sporran, spiffy fancy knee high socks and the most amazing tailored Braveheart jacket. He looked amazing. The bride had designed her perfect angel dress and to make it even better, she had hired (secretly) a bag-piper to escort her through the vineyard. What a surprise for one and all.
My poor son burst into tears as he heard the first few strains of the pipe and as it got louder and the anticipation got more and more he reached behind his back and said in a loud whisper "Mom! Kleenex - quick". The tears didn't stop until the both of them had finally said their I do's. It was beautiful. They had 3 hug breaks throughout the ceremony at the suggestion of their marriage commissioner. They would both be sniffling and she would say "Do we need a hug break?" and they would both wrap their arms around the other and then take deep breaths and the ceremony carried on. Unlike any wedding I had ever been at.
Everyone was out of their minds with joy and love and it will be a long time before any of us forgets this past weekend.
Here's to Joy and Love
