Happy mother's day to my mom and all the other mother's out there. If you haven't done it already, make sure you give the woman you call mom a call/hug/gift/million dollars, and thank her for putting up with your bridezilla-esq moments these past few months (come on, admit it .... you know there's been a few .... remember that little "incident" with the caterer? Yah, NOW you remember).During my own wedding planning, both my mom and mother-in-law stood by me as a shoulder to cry on, a resource to go to with ideas and, lets face, it pure, unadulterated slave labour. My wedding would not have been what it was without both of their help. And hell, I guess I wouldn't even be here if good 'ole Judy hadn't dragged me around inside of her for 9 months (actually, I was more than two weeks overdue, so sorry about that too, mom. I guess my lateness problems go back to the womb). So here's my gift to you, mother-of-my-heart ... everlasting fame with a photo of us together in my blog. Now that I've revealed what you look like, the paparazzi should be at your door any moment ..... Just kidding. But here's a pic of the simple little card I whipped up to give to my mom today:
I know, I know, I know that I was extremely lucky in that both my mom and my MIL were on the same wave-length as me for wedding ideas so we never actually had any issues. And I know that many of you ladies think that moms-and-weddings shoulnd't be in the same sentence, but here's the thing. Regardless of what craziness transpires between you and your beloved mother while planning your wedding, keep this in mind -- she is only acting this way because she truly, dearly wants you to have an amazing wedding day. Honestly. Perhaps her ideas are a bit off, perhaps you two are fighting like cats and dogs, but she really does just want everything to be perfect.
So go on, give her a hug, give her a card, give her something to say "Thanks"
