I really enjoyed the season of anticipation of Rebecca's wedding. I don't think she felt quite the same way - at time she was just anxious to get the wedding part over with and get on to the marriage (which is definitely the most important part). She also doesn't like to be the center of attention. Sort of comes with the territory when you're a bride, though.
However, I've loved being mother-of-the-bride. I relished all the preparations, from shopping for dresses or matching neckties, to cooking, decorating, and planning accommodations for extended family. One special thing Terry did for Rebecca during this season was build a backdrop to her specifications. Here she helps with the staining:
It turned out great as you can see here!
It was also sweet seeing all the dance practices that occurred in our kitchen. I treasure these memories almost as much as the wedding itself.
