THE WEDDING COUNT DOWN DOETH BEGIN...5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Today is Monday - June 8th, 2009 and there are just 5 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE BLESSED OCCASION.

Erica & Nick asked me to piece together a movie from some of their pics. The movie has come along rather nicely if I must say. I have created, produced and edited it and uploaded some of my company logos to paste onto it. I am venturing out into turning this into another home-based business. As for the music pieces, I ripped and burned some songs in a form of a medley which I also believe they will enjoy. I was very careful and picky as to each selection and each song has a meaning which will coincide, of course, with each scene in the movie. I allowed my sis, Josie, and my niece, Alex, a preview of it and they liked it. My dear sis even cried and insists that we should have a box of kleenex at each of the tables. I was really convinced it was a tear-jerker of a movie when Sara even admitted that it made her teary-eyed the very first time she saw it.

Josie has been Erica & Nick's wedding coordinator and she has also outdone herself. Many of us have pulled together to get things ready & tweaked for this awesome event. The Midlanders have been brought closer together because of the wedding and for that we are grateful.

I am not sure how we (family) will get through the wedding as Erica is the first to wed in such a grand fashion. Her guest list to-date has gone from 150 guests to 250 guests. Her and Nick are going to wed in a traditional Catholic wedding Saturday morning in Big Spring then they will have the photographer take the traditional pics then everyone is off to the reception followed by the traditional evening dance. I believe that the movie will be shown somewhere after the food is served and before the dance begins. I am so excited and so happy & eternally grateful that I was asked & allowed the privilege to do this for them. I love Erica as if she were my own daughter and I am very fond of Nick. He is such a great addition to our family.

After their wedding, they are off to DisneyWorld followed by a Disney cruise to the Bahamas (Nassau). And to boot, Erica & Nick have paid for the entire event on their own. For that I am so proud of them as are the rest of us. Anytime any of us tried to pay for anything, they thanked us and gently said 'no'. After each of them graduated from college, they already had great jobs lined up for themselves; each has been with the same respective company for a good amount of time. They are both very intelligent and so level-headed for the young age that they are. They are every family's ideal couple and we are grateful they are in our family. We are indeed a truly blessed family and truly happy. We are in such anticipation for the grand day!!!
