Thank you all for the birthday greetings yesterday!
The wedding was wonderful and you will not believe its the same The Vixter when I get back to NY next week and post the pictures
She went out with her cousin, the Bride, to have her hair and makeup doena nd we did not see her again until we were at the church..
I know she's mine, but gosh, she was stunning....
The reception followed the British custom of havinga dinner and speechifying, speeches by fathers and mothers of Bride and Groom, Matrons of Honor (there were 2) Best Men (there were 2), siblings of the happy couple and anyone else who wanted to speak. The Vixter came up and gave a spontaneous speech tellinga story about how she and her cousin (who is 10 years older than her) were mistaken for mother and daughter several years ago and Vixcousin's indignation at the time that she could have been thought old enough to have a 8 year old daughter then she segued into her apprciation for havinbg sucha wonderful older cousin who cared and looked after her as if she wer a mother and segued into what a woindeful mother she is sure the Bride will be someday.... Vixdad, Vixgranny and Vixgrandad and I wer all beaming she did a much better job at with her spontaeous speech than many of the people 2 and 3 times her age who had written theirs down
