This is one of those moments in time I have dreamed about over and over again.
Not my own daughter’s wedding, but the upcoming nuptials of my little sis.
I do think about that someday when my girls will find someone to spend their lives with,and frankly, it makes me a bit tired.
(Let’s be honest, you know Scotty will be doing all the catering, and I’ll be holding down the circus tents!)
But I digress, this is about Baby J.
I was graduating from high school the week baby J was born.
And in those years in between, I have watched this little gal grow up
into a beautiful accomplished woman,
who has finally met the man of her dreams.
(that’s you, corleone)
With 7 older siblings, all married with children,
(28 nieces and nephews)

Baby J has been a part of a lot of weddings.

| Still the littlest redhead at my brother’s wedding. |
Now it’s her turn.
And, to be honest,
I’m a much better designer/dressmaker now.
After all those chances to practice
on wedding gowns in the past–
this one will be far and away, the best yet.
I can’t wait to be surrounded by the silk, beads, lace, linings and pearls–it’ll be creative nirvana.
Thanks, Baby J, for including me in your plans.
Like you said–
“Let the games begin……Shlabadabadee, shlabadabadoo!!!!!”
