Our eldest grand is getting married next week. She and her Mom have been planning this wedding for six months and it is not small, lol. They decided to make it a backyard wedding on a grand scale. Trees have been removed to make sure they can accomodate 200+ guests, the house has been painted, the pool patio area blasted and ready, upscale portapotties ordered (the house is nice but not huge), the menu set and the caterers hired. My sd is outstanding at event planning and an awesome cook.
The celebration is spread over three days. Sigh...I'm still trying to convince myself to leave the house and our business in difficult child's hand. Scarey if he drinks...fine if he stays sober. Double sigh. The rehersal dinner is at a friends on Thursday night. Friday night gd and future husband are entertaining at their house. Saturday at five the wedding takes place.
I looked at Accu/weather.com. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all suppose to be rainy with Saturday's forecast including gusty winds. I emailed sd who loves me (not the Mother of the bride) and asked "what is Plan B?" She replied "there is no Plan B". Yikes! I truly can no imagine how awful it might be for them if the weather is accurate. I'm really good at organization and planning but I keep wondering what to heck would I do? Over ten grand invested to date (probably more) and where would a substitute venue be found at such a late date? I'm crossing fingers and hoping that they at least seek out alternative sites. What a bummer. DDD
