[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 438990, member: 1233"] I will never understand all the bs about weddings. Mine was awesome. Very small ceremony, my mom finished the skirt and top I wore that morning (pink with tulips on it) and also the shorts for the reception that morning. We rented a huge awning, made sure the yard looked nice, wrote our names and the dates on a ton of white frisbees (they last longer and are so much more fun than engraved napkins and no way were we giving my pyro husband and his pyro friends books of matches iwth his name on them. Those would have been permission to play with them, lolo!) We blew up primary colored balloon, put big sheets of white butcher paper and markers on the table, set up a buffet for sandwiches, filled big new garbage cans with ice, pop and beer, and opened the door. WHen my bff, the maid of honor, asked what to wear I told her that a dress would be nice but she needed to be comfortable and ahve shorts for the reception. It was, after all, August in OK and an outdoor reception. I did draw the line at the best man's dog coming to the ceremony. But he did come to the reception and had an awesome time with my parent's dog. So all this stuff g oing on is just nonsense. Of course my inlaws were so thankful that husband was finallygetting married that they would have gone along with anything, lol. Plus father in law and stepmil were planning their own wedding, so it was easy for them to not get upset over mine. And mother in law watned nothing to do with husband or I cause she is crazy, so she was easy to handle. I would do as suggested and just make a point of enjoying yourself. I would think the 6 yo cousin would not have much fun as the only kid and would be mroe than happy to stay at a kids' event or with a group of kids at a babysitter. WHen my bff got married I had a 7month old. She volunteered her gma to watch my child at the wedding and the entire reception. I declined and left him iwth my aunt. Her gma would have done it but thanked me profusely for not making it necessary - she really wanted to be able to enjoy her granddau getting married. Bff did the whole dog and pony show, with almost more people in the wedding party than in the audience. she was also super tacky about any gift. IF she had to give one she made one as fast and cheap as she could - and it showed and she bragged that the wedding party gifts only cost her $20 for all 8 of the women's gifts and only took four hours to make all of them. But when it came Occupational Therapist (OT) her gifts she was very vocal about how this or that was cheap or not on her registry. I was the ONLY one she didn't pull that koi with because she knew me well enough to know I owuld have stood up and gone over and picked it up, announced that since it wasn't good enough I was leaving and she could have her tacky gift to me back, plus a bill for all the hundreds I spent flying in to town with Wiz, on the dress, the hotel the rental car the everything else. She kenw that I put up with a lot but not that kind of rudeness. (in some things she has always been a bit afraid of how I will speak my mind, lol). SO do what will be enjoyable for you. Your son probably won't even notice. Please put your health first. Ulcers are a terrible illness and I pray the antibiotics help a lot. Please remember that you totally can NOT drink any alcohol with them. Even mouthwash wtih alcohol has made peopel I know who are on those medications very sick. As for the GERD, follow directions for that long after the ulcer is gone as it can re-occur once it has started. I hope you feel better soon. [/QUOTE]
