The wedding preparations are going quite well, thank you! Lindsay and Bjork have been very organized, thoughtful and sensible in their planning. I don't want to give too much away but it might be fun to have some idea what we have been up to lately...in the wedding department. Lindsay, Kristin, Bjork's mom(Vicky), and I all went to the Minneapolis Convention Center for a big Wedding Fair. It was a fun outing for the four of us. It was fun for Vicky and me to look at all the stuff with the girls and it was great that Kristin could come. (She is leaving Friday for Spain and will be gone until the middle of May!) Anyway...there were cakes, photographers, vacation ideas, invitations, florists, jewelry, dresses, prizes, tuxedos... You name it. If it had anything to do with getting married, it was there. There was even a big band playing with ballroom dancers! It was a bit overwhelming. Vicky and I were asked (several times) if we were a bride-to-be! We got a kick out of that! :) It was a lot of fun!!
Another thing we have been talking about is the music for the wedding and reception. We had a great time trying to help choose a song for the father-daughter dance. One evening, Allen, Lindsay and I had a great time listening to potential tunes (mostly sappy, I might add). I didn't think of it until later, but it was one of those memories that Allen and I will cherish forever - just the three of us! They even did a little practice run-through...you know, just to get the beat right.
The last wedding fun was to drag MY wedding dress out for a little look-see. I know that I loved my dress 26 years ago when I chose it, but when the girls pulled it out, I couldn't help but say to myself..."What was I thinking?? Was this really the style in 1983?" There were so many...frills and so much lace!! I tried my dress on, Lindsay tried it on and even Roselyn gave it a try. There was lots of giggles during this part of the evening. Oh well, it was fun and it reminded me of how quickly time goes by. Allen (bless his heart!) kept saying that he thought the dress was beautiful. I didn't really believe him, but it did make me feel a little better. If any of you were married in the 80's, please tell me that I wasn't too off the mark. I am feeling a little insecure about this...

Any woman who can still fit into her wedding dress after 26 years should not feel insecure about ANYTHING!!!! :)
It was fun to bump into you guys at the wedding fair! Quite the event...
Linday looks gorgeous in your dress...but then she looks gorgeous always! I think she should at least wear it for the dance! Happy to hear that plans are going well. We are looking forward to this big event! God Bless!
Sorry...forgot to sign my name:)
You may recall that on my 25th Anniversary last spring I posted a picture of myself in my wedding dress and you commented that yours was quite similar...we got married in the same year, so I think we were quite fashionable for the time! (Remember Princess Diana's dress?)
