Sorry Mom, the item on the list I think about the most is my dress.

My son David married a lovely woman on New Year’s Eve in Richmond,Virginia. When the clock struck midnight, we raised our champagne glasses to the new couple and to the New Year. My suitcases weren’t even unpacked when, on January 2, my daughter Jess got engaged on a breathtakingly beautiful day at the Shem Creek Park. I went from mother-of-the-groom to mother-of-the bride in just 24 hours.

Ah, summer weddings. Charleston is a highly sought after vacation location and should probably rank 1st for destination weddings year round. There is the peninsula with its beautiful churches, homes and streets... and the beaches, among the most scenic in the country...
