Pampering our Girl

As a mom I have had lots of ideas of things I wanted to with and for my daughters when they get married to make their wedding week extra special for them. On the day before Rachel's wedding, Ray and I tried to do some of those things. Because of how the week turned out there were things left undone, but over all I think it was a special time. Ray took her out to eat and ordered the biggest steak he could get for her. (Rachel is the kind of girl that when you take her out to eat, she'll order the cheapest thing on the menu.) They had a great time hanging out and enjoying one another.

In the afternoon, I went with her and the bridesmaids to get her nails done and Starbucks. Rachel's bridesmaids did a wonderful job of pampering her all afternoon and into the next day. They did fun spa stuff and simply helped keep anything stressful away from her. What a fun time for her!

That doesn't mean there was NO stress, it was just kept to a minimum.
