I just returned from my daughter's Beth Wedding in Chamonix, France. I can still taste the great wines, smell the fragrant flowers, feel the pride beaming inside, but the memory of my son, Erik walking Beth down the aisle with her sister, Jillian by her side will keep a smile on my face for a very long time.
The Wedding day was magnificent, it actually snowed and having Mont Blanc as a backdrop just added to the magnificence. The peacefulness and illumination of the snowfall made the Wedding even more like a fairytale with the Bride looking like a real Princess.
I know I am the Mother of the Bride, so, of course, I am biased but I can not take any credit whatsoever, all the ideas and plans were the work of the Bride, the Groom and Maid of Honor.
Look at some of the highlights of this great day.
My sisters came to the wedding, one sister having never been to Europe, the others never to France. The reuniting of nieces, nephews and aunts was quite a joyful sight.
Every female wore a striking hat, we called ourselves the Mad Hatter Society, making the ceremony quite smashing, I must say.
The band was from London and could play ANY song requested and everybody danced, danced and danced.
The food, so good and fresh, was locally grown and a French wedding cake and an American one as well, helped celebrate the two customs.
The groom is a wine connoisseur, so the wine….. and his birthplace was Cognac, so the cognac…need I say more.
Another rewarding and unforgettable moment being your Mom
Thanks kids
