“As sisters we have always been told how different we are. But there is one thing we share - the way we love with every fiber of our beings. And this love is what it takes to make a marriage work. So when the house is a mess, the baby has been teething for a week and you are at the end - remember this day and the love you have for each other.”

(My maid of honor toast - um, because I’m no matron!)

This is just the quirky tip of the iceberg sis, more for you later…

First Tomato

One of my little sisters is getting married this weekend. I’m not froufrou and not totally into weddings although I really loved my own simple little celebration. I think I got a little shell-shocked when my mom got married when I was six. For some reason it was really hard for me even though I love my stepdad so very much.

I’ve been making things for my sister and among them is the ring bearer pillow. I’ve never made anything like this before so I just went for it, then I got all in a panic that it might be too small or too plain or too exotic - Crikey it’s just a freakin’ ring bearer pillow. So I looked online and wow, there are some really bad ring bearer pillows out there - at least this one is unique (and her colors).

I had a great time making it. It was a bit of a challenge to make it wedding-like but still something I would be proud to show and also something my sister will love and cherish because even if I’m not a big fan of weddings, I’m a big fan of my sister and I can’t wait to share her day with her.

I also really like champagne and unlike my own wedding, where I was three months pregnant, I can have numerous glasses. So, here’s a toast to the girl in white, all will be wonderful and bright, a night you will never forget, well, that is if you can remember it the next day.

While we were all three laying in bed this morning Autumn said:

“Dad, lets go to the football field to play football and leave mom here.”
