This Saturday my son is getting married. They have carefully planned each detail of their special day and I have helped with some of the projects involved in making it all fall into place. It has been so much fun to work with them on this. I have one more project to complete for them. Funny...I've been putting it off for two weeks. I think it makes me sad to complete the last task and that this wedding season is coming to an end. There have been great parties and gatherings during this time...and I'm sure there will be many more after their marriage.
I'm excited for the wedding....they are perfect together. I'm excited for all of the friends who are traveling to spend this special time with them this weekend. So what am I missing? When my boys were growing up, we celebrated everything with the "special plate". Birthdays...soccer goals...report cards....driver's license...graduations. The person being honored had dinner served on the plate that said "you are special today".
Maybe that's what feels like it's missing. Perhaps I need to take the "special plate" to the wedding venue so that they can eat wedding cake from it. Or perhaps I need to gift them with a "special plate" of their own for all the celebrations to follow.
