Well, I had to come back & write again. My friend is starting to plan a wedding. No, she is not engaged; yet.... But it could happen this coming Christmas when she goes home. But we shall see. She was talking about colors today for flowers & dresses & such. I remember those days. Except I had wanted to have my wedding in at beautiful little church in Galena Illinois & have a small wedding & have my best friend & friend get dresses that they could wear again & I would have gotten a simple white dress & invited a few people to. & have a little reception at a restaurant in downtown Galena. & my husband & I would have honeymooned in Dubuque at a bed & breakfast.... Well, folks, my parents (excuse me, my mom) kicked that out the window. I had it here in the area at my old church & the reception at a close by reception place. We had our honeymoon in Disney World in Florida. The honeymoon was not an issue. The wedding was. I had to buy a very fancy wedding dress & my party had to buy dresses that they are not going to wear again. In other words, the wedding became not my wedding but my mom's..... Don't ever let that happen for those who will be starting this stage in your life. That's all for now.
