I talked to Amy for 2.5 hours on Friday night. We talked about wedding stuff but also talked about all sorts of interesting things, people, events. You would think we hadn't talked for years we had so much to say to each other. She says her dress is done except she isn't happy with the gathers where the overlay of the lace and the lining attaches to the bodice. She says it makes her look like a giant marshmallow. However that didn't seem to bother her....she was going to tear out the lining and them reattach it a different way. Amy seems so calm. I would be "freaking out" if my dress was not done a week before the wedding and if I didn't think it looked right. Amy remains confident that she will get it right. Here are some cool things about the wedding. BTW: All of the below have been decided by Amy and Ray
1. Amy's Dad and I will walk her down the aisle
2. The ring bearer is Ray's cute 2 year old Nephew and the flower girl is a Amy and Ray's chihuahua "Jasmine" (complete with her own dress)
3. The walking down the aisle music will be Spanish guitar (which I love)
4. The wedding venue is outside in the Santa Cruz Mountains (LOTS and LOTS of trees a cool little house and pond)
5. The banquet will be Mexican food and prepared and catered by my son Rich and served with the help of his friends
6. There will be a Mariachi (sp?) band entertaining while they do the pictures (Ray and his family are of Mexican heritage)
7. Amy and Ray's first dance will be to "Danny's Song" by Loggins and Messina
8. Amy and Ray are being married by one of Amy's good friends Nenna
9. The party favors will be characatures of all the wedding guests done by one of Amy's artist friends
10. There will be crochet, botchie ball and horseshoes to pay on the lawn
11. There will be cakes, pies and other desserts for the guests (our family is big on desserts)
12. The dress is casual dressy ( No ties for the men, woman can wear pants suits or dresses if they like)
13. The main idea is to have a Kick Ass party as well as a wedding.
LOVE IT!!!
Amy has done this all on her own. I am so proud of her!!!
