Wedding #3

In just 2 weeks, we will have had three weddings within one year. A3 daughter got married in June, A4 daughter got married in August, and now A2 daughter is getting married on March 21.
Last summer when Ron's coworkers would ask him how it was, to have two weddings in one summer, he replied, "Do I have the deer in the headlights look?" It's like he was minding his own business on the road of life, when this "wedding wagon" ran him over. It's all of the planning, and buying, and organizing, and planning some more, and buying some more etc. etc. Mostly Ron's job is to provide $ for the "buying some more" :) Just about the time we finished the first one- along comes the second one. More planning, buying, organizing, PAYING. Then Ron is asking, "Do I have the deer in the tail lights look?" So here he is, still laying on the road of life trying to recover from getting hit twice by the "wedding wagon"- when he hears a familiar sound- he raises his head to look around- and yes, here comes that "wedding wagon" again ! He is starting to think maybe he should get off the road :) This time, A2 and W.E. did most of the planning, buying, organizing, and even the paying. We did give a cash "donation" to the cause- but they have done all the work. Of course you know that this is all in fun! We love the fact that all of our children have found wonderful "soul mates" and we don't mind at all that we will have had three weddings in one year. It has been alittle hard on the cash flow- but other wise great blessings for our family. Besides we own a bridal shop. There are two ways to look at the cost of those three dresses- either we got a great deal and wholesale prices on each one or they each only cost us about $100,000 a piece. I prefer to have Ron think of it in terms of the first option :)

This is the deer in the headlights look when he realized that the "wedding wagon" was about hit him- no time to move- got hit hard :)

This is the deer in the tails lights look after getting run over TWICE within 2 months by the "wedding wagon".

So this is the deer- after getting run over twice and just beginning to put it's head up again- and here comes that "wedding wagon" again! No time to get out of the road- I guess he'll get hit again :)

The amazing thing is that Ron cooperated and let me take these pictures, even when he knew where they would end up. Maybe life is too boring around here. (We aren't even good at watching TV together- we tried that last night and we both fell asleep :)
