My son is getting married

I managed not to cry until the mother and son dance when the DJ played Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion. Later on I was talking to John and I told him he picked a beautiful song. He said, "It's all true."

Oh Cheryl, that would have done me IN!

I am so glad it was a beautiful day!! Looking forward to pictures!

Cheryl, congratulations to your son, John! I'm glad that it was such a beautiful day for you and your family! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your pictures.

Here are a few photos. We took about 600 total--some good, some not so great. I'm not the most photogenic person in the world, but my kids more than make up for that.


My husband, Paul and I


Our daughters


The happy couple, John and Nicole. The best man was my younger brother, Alex.


Johnnie and I dancing

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Cheryl! They're lovely!

Oh Cheryl, you look lovely!! You have a hunky hubby too, I must say! The kids all look great, and John and Nicole make a cute couple!! That picture of you dancing with John put tears in my eyes instantly. What a moment. My son turns 20 next week, so I guess I'm in that 'where did the years go' mode right now anyway. I am sentimental about everything right about now! Especially a young mother seeing her son moving on. My heart goes out to you---I know it won't be easy for me either one day. LOL, no matter how old he is when he marries!

Thank you for posting some pictures!! Looks like a beautiful setting for a wedding!!

What a beautiful gown you wore, Cheryl! You could have been one of the bridesmaids. Or even the bride. LOL! Thank you for posting some of your pics. Are the happy couple on a honeymoon right now? If so, where did they go?

I will be there doing this probably sooner than I think. My oldest is only 17 but he and his g/friend have been together already 2yrs. She is two years older than him and in college....but they have held it together even with her being so far away . SO, I'm sitting back and waiting til they want to marry.....I think they will wait a little while and get some college under them though.
I'm 38 now, and so it will probably happen when I am about your age.....not too long from now. I am thankful I've been a young mom ....it will give me more time with my grandkids ...Lord willing.

SO glad the day turned out nice. He sounds like a wonderful son to have.

Great pictures!

Beautiful pics, Cheryl! Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I'm glad you liked the pictures.

You’re so cute, Teresa. What mailing address am I suppose to send the money to so that I can thank you for saying that?

The kids are somewhere in the Dominican Republic for their honeymoon, but all their gifts are in my office. Bwahahahaha.

Thanks, Gin. He really is a great kid. When I think about all the nonsense other kids get into, I feel very blessed.
