A Tale of 2 Marys

For those of you that don't know, both my mom and Scott's mom are named Mary. We joke that we have Mary #1 and Mary #2.

I figure since the wedding's 2 weeks away, now we be a good time to share all the good stuff they've done for us.

Mary #1 (my mom)

Where do I start???

I can't count all the phone calls we've had about dresses, shoes, favors, guests, food. We've covered everything. We've gone shopping together. Actually, mom's turned in to my personal shopper. Every few weeks I'll get a call, "I'm in XXXXX (name of store) and I see XXXXX that I think would be great for the wedding. Want me to pick it up?". Because of this, I have jewelry, a purse, a card holder, tons of decorations. You name it, she got it. Plus I've had so much delivered home to be brought up to Wisconsin. Oh...and she's coming up north early to help us get everything ready.

Mary #2 (Scott's mom)

Scott's mom has been awesome. Her and Bob (Scott's dad) are already up in Wisconsin getting everything ready. They had to open up their cabin before anything. They're busy picking up drinks, decorations and pretty much any last minute thing they can! And they drove over 12 hours with a trailer to get everything there. You guys rock!!

...............................................................................................

I don't think Scott and I would be able to pull all of this off without all they're help. We keep getting asked, "Isn't it hard to plan a wedding when you aren't there?" The answer has been no. But the truth is we've had so much help getting to this point.

Now obviously, Scott and I wouldn't be here without them. But this wedding wouldn't be here without them either. So this is our way of saying thanks. You're the best!!

Moms ARE the best. I didn't know you were dealing with two Marys. Sam has an imaginary grandmother named "Gram Mary." He's talking about her all the time. So funny.
I hope all is going well. Thanks for your recent emails. We're so excited.
