The eve of a new beginning. 

What a wonderful, exciting, happy, the epicenter moment.

We went to the venue to add a few things, which seemed like a few things until we unloaded those few things.

Everything is in place, everyone is here and tomorrow there is going to be such happiness I think I might float away.

Chelsea's cold is not as bad as it was, but not completely over.

Everyone and everything in place, haircuts, flowers, ties, shoes, and who goes where when.

My mom, Patti my niece, Chelsea and I went for a manicure/pedicure to ESSIE only to have the WORSE  manicure ever.

It was so bad we chalked it up for memory sake and let it go.

Tomorrow I hope you will watch on Facebook Chelsea and Martin's wedding LIVE.

Chelsea's grammar -school friend will set up the camera and let it film from her pew.

    This is what Corey said in yesterday’s post: July 6th, French time at 4 o’clock.
    I have a question of my own. I have “liked” Corey’s page. Do I have to send a friend request, too, in order to watch the live-streamed event?

    Corey you look wonderful in these pictures. So does Chelsea. I am so happy for you. I can’t tell that the mani-pedi went badly in the photos.
    The glimpse of the reception hall looks great!

    Linda P. thanks for the info about the time. I for some reason thought I had not seen it in a previous post. Forgive me, I’m not young and I do forget things 😉 Are you able to “follow” her without sending a friend request? If so, you should be able to see it. But it can’t hurt to send a friend request, even now.

    Your expression in that last picture with Chelsea says it all! It brought tears to my eyes.
    Enjoy it all my friend, the ceremony, your family, the party… every last detail. And be proud of the wonderful children you reared and be especially proud of yourself! You are one in a million!
    May God bless them tomorrow and always,
    Ana María

    Oh my, France plays Uruguay today in the World Cup quarter-final — starting at, you guessed it, 4 PM French time!
    Please don’t be *too& harsh on guests who check their phones right after the ceremony in order to watch the second half and see how France is doing.

    Well if I can’t get in Facebook (only cuz of technical issues) I just had my wedding tears now just seeing you and Chelsea together and anticipating the big celebration. We know Chelsea is going to be stunning. I know you were questioning your dress but you will look beautiful too! FYI, looking good from all those walks, good job!
    Thank you for sharing this journey with us all. It’s been one of my highlights, especially with all the “stuff” going on in this world.
    Have a beautiful wonderful day may this day be forever engraved in your heart and mind!
    Love and God Bless
