Georgia “Shotgun” Wedding!
I have another son……..and no I didn’t give birth at 52! God, that would be one for the record books! LOL…….Joe is my new son-in-law! Alina got married! I am late posting this, but do to the J.O.B. and all the curves life has been throwing my way, I haven’t had time to “sit and take notice” of anything – gosh not even the additional gray hairs I am sprouting!
Alina and Joe at the Waterfront
Her wedding was actually in St. Mary’s, Georgia, which is near the Naval Base she is stationed at. This wedding was planned on very short notice – 3 weeks to be exact. LOL……hilarious, almost like a shotgun wedding!!! Alina and Joe have been together a couple of years, so it wasn’t a total surprise. I felt like the Clampetts from Beverly Hillbillies when we drove to Georgia. In our Expedition we had Bubba, myself, my 87 year old father, my 85 year old mother, our son Bruce and daughter-in-law Kristie. We also had the wedding dress, suits, suitcases, food for the reception, and more stuff all packed in. We were lucky to have oxygen left in there! Of course the wedding didn’t happen without glitches, like the Church air not being on and the bride, along with the bridesmaids trying to keep their armpits from sweating, hair falling and makeup running. Oh, and the delay of Bubba, and her grandparents finding the church……..however they did show up an hour later. Thank goodness they did make it because her grandfather was walking her down the aisle! At this wedding we didn’t have to worry about the groom not showing, just her Dad and grandparents! LOL……….Also, lets not forget the music not playing…….well, then it did play………….. and then it decided not to play for the wedding march………..LOL. Alina said she didn’t even notice the wedding march not playing because she was concentrating to hard on holding her grandfather steady while walking down the aisle! Yes, there was some stressful, but very fun moments. Overall, the church was precious, the bride was gorgeous and the memories………..priceless.
Both children married……………….yes, I am done now!
