Dear Mommie,

You never cease to amaze me.

All my life, you've been a source of unconditional, unmovable, and unrequited love.

Your love is not something I have earned, nor is it something I've always understood (how could someone be so selfless, sacrificial, and AMAZING?), but it IS something I can rely on. Mommie, you never, ever let me down. 

I've always told you that everything good in me and about me is because of you.

Now, the same will be true for my wedding. Anything good in or about it will be because of you.

Thank you for all you do. I can only hope to one day be the same source of love to my own children. I love you!

In everlasting awe and appreciation,

JeLisa

Your daughter

Check...check...check...

Tastings and fittings and tears...oh my!

We spent this past weekend down in LA with our moms and JeLisa's grandmother taking care of some last "checks" on our wedding to-do lists.

After a loooong week (which included an unwise decision to go see Dark Knight at 12:05 a.m. knowing we then had to drive down to LA at like 6 a.m.!), and then a looooong drive down to Los Angeles, we were both definitely tired after all was said and done, but it was still exhilarating to get things checked off the list!

By the time we were headed back up the 101 towards home, we'd booked the caterer, ordered our cake, toured our wedding venue, found a flower girl dress, and JeLisa had had her second dress fitting! Did we mention this was all on Saturday? We were back in San Francisco on Sunday like nothing had ever happened!

Anyway, we're both sending big thanks to our mothers for everything this weekend. Hopefully next time, though, we can all get through a cake tasting without you two bursting into tears...  You ladies are awesome. :)
