What does it mean to be Mother-of-the-Bride? Well, for one, you run around like a chicken without a head finding ways to spend awesome amounts of money and time on suddenly essential items.
For example, yesterday I sprinted into Sephora like a crazy woman and filled a bag with two new water resistant (very important) mascaras (gotta have a back up), a new lipstick to go with the 5o others I have stashed in my drawer, a new eyelash curler (what if the old one breaks?), 10 sponge applicators (you never know), etc. etc. All this to be used with the brand new lighted make up mirror already purchased and waiting in Maine.
Then there's the special professional steamer I bought and am schlepping up to Maine (and which I will have to schlep back) so that all our clothes will be creaseless and gorgeous on the big day. And, of course, there's my dress and the requisite underwear and two pair of new shoes--flats for the ceremony and heels for the party. Oh, yes and I just had to run out and buy a cute new top for the Friday barbeque despite the fact that I have a zillion tops both here and in Maine.
These last few days have been so much fun!

Ellen -- today is our 20th anniversary. We just watched our wedding video and there is your girl looking wild and adorable. She takes a piece of wedding cake served by......her future mother-in-law, Anita!
Enjoy every moment, and every crazy purchase. xxxx Deb
