Mar and the Wedding

January 8-9

Mar volunteered to help Becky with the wedding reception she was having for her son, Brad. No, volunteer is not the correct word. She really wanted to help. She helped gather the tings for the decorations. She said she would come and help set it up. So on Thursday, before he Friday reception, she went to the church for “about two hours” to help set up. Mar spent ten hours setting things up. Why so long? Well she didn’t have a lot of help. Michael went and helped in the afternoon. Also, they decided on more than the original plan. In the end, Mar was very tired, but she had done a spectacular job.

She also said she would do a small wedding cake. It really was just a standard two layer cake, mostly for decoration as they had cup cakes for the reception. Yes they did put rubber duckie’s on the top. That is a long story.

Mar also made the corsages and boutonnières for the wedding party. She made twelve on Friday. When she got to the event Friday night, there were two more people in the wedding party than they told her about. In fact they didn’t know that two grandmas were coming. This did not faze Mar at all because she had brought extra roses and pins and tape and ribbon and she just made two more corsages.

I am proud of her. I think she is just amazing.
