A very proud day

Yay! I'm a mother-in-law again! And I'm drunk AGAIN!

Today was my baby boy Oliver's wedding to the very beautiful Reni and it went like a dream. I think everyone enjoyed it, I really hope so and I'm sorry if some came and others didn't, but we are not rich so corners had to be cut.
But the ceremony was a dream, Reni looked stunning, Tomi was a beautiful flower girl and her twin brother Tobi looked so proud giving her away. At this point I cried. My eldest son looked so handsome standing with his brother being his best man. At this point I cried. The minister was on top form and spoke so meaningful about some times our expectations are too high of each other... how true. Oliver and Reni looked so in love... At his point I cried...Tomi and I both gave a reading, Tomi's was E.E.Cummings and mine; Pam Ayres. We had trouble singing in tune to the last hymn, but we all belted it out anyway. The choir made up for it on the last one while they were signing the register. My mother looked absolutely stunning in black and cream, I was so proud of her and only drove me mad a little bit. I got shot in the face when looking to see if my confetti canon was the right way up and it decided to go bang when I was looking down it!.. At this point I nearly cried... I was fishing out confetti from my undies for quite a while.
The Compasses was brilliant and everyone had plenty to eat and drink. Oo and I ate my sister Helen's tooth... long story... It was in a cup cake... well she actually broke it on a silver ball in the cake and we both thought it was a silver ball when she took it out her mouth and gave it to me to eat, but then she found the silver ball still in her mouth... The first thought of ball turned out to be her tooth... Yep that really is a gross as it sounds.

I'm so proud of my baby. Weird how when they became a married man, you then think of them as a grown up man, but he has been my rock for so long. When I have been scared stiff in hospital and fighting to breathe... he has been there... When I have sat and cried uncontrollably because of divorcing or being made bankrupt... he was there telling me to go on... When I wanted to throw in the towel and die because I was so tired of being ill... he was there pushing me on... Thank you baby, you are going to make Reni an amazing husband, because you are an amazing son.

I am a very soppy sop at the moment, but I don't care. I have got so many things wrong in my life, but I did so right when we had our two sons. Dwight and Oliver, I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for being my sons xx

Lots of love Debbie
