Shift gears, 3 weeks to plan a budget wedding with almost no help for the Mother of the Groom as she does it all! Convinvced I am super women (duh!) I agree to help my friend with a last minute affair for her oldest son.
THIS is what we had to work with! Okay so the trees and the sky and the beach were okay but are you kidding me? An outside pavillion in the middle of summer with questionable water and electricity? ack!
This is what we ended up with. After lots and lots and lots of work and a very helpful husband 
(Mine!) and another couple (hubby and wife both 
took day off 
work!) MAYBE the stunning rainbow at the end of a very hard 3 days was nice. I took virtually no pictures of the wedding as I was consumed with setting up the tables, decorating, cooking, cleaning, clean up, etc.
We were asked several times who the "caterers" were because everything was so nice/pretty/good.
Un-be-liev-able. Uummm, the Grooms Mother and few of her friends okay? Can we eat now? Before we have to cart the whole thing 2 hours back up the road after we clean it up in the dark with only one shop light to help??!!
Did I mention a 4 course meal with multiple desserts and appetizers to begin and hot foods/cold foods, and everything inbetween? oh nearly forgot, special menu items due to extreme allergies and vegan attendees? What? For 100 guest!!!!!
Live and Learn. sometimes it is best NOT to assume you are super women and just tell a good friend from the get go you are not super women. Except? I'm convinced SHE IS. Kudos to you Gloria for pulling it off.
