In less than a week my eldest daughter will marry the man of her dreams. No muss, no fuss. Not exactly how I envisioned this particular child's special day but am delighted that she is doing it on her own terms and in her own way. One thing about springing this kind of news, you don't have to stress about losing ten pounds. Nor finding the perfect outfit. Nor all the details that come with such a celebration. No worrying about invitation lists. No, we will just gather with his parents, a justice of the peace and then enjoy a lovely dinner together. At some future date , we will celebrate their union with our family and friends. I am reminded that a wedding is not a marriage. It takes a lifetime to make a marriage. They're taking the first important step this coming week.

Congratulations Mercedes. Where are they going to live etc. I hope all works out for you and your future.
Congrats on the upcoming wedding! So happy for the darling couple.
Well, you're right about the no-stressing! So now you can go down and enjoy the day!
remember when i said i wanted to elope? i don't think inviting parents technically counts as eloping....but to be honest i think this is going to be better anyway. i can't wait to see you mom!
So glad that I heard about this from you!! :) Mercedes had mentioned it but at the time they still didn't have final plans. Can't wait to see her sometime (hopefully soon!). I'll do the photography. :)
