reality? check.

So, my little sister gets married in eleven days.

WOW.

This means that there is tulle in the kitchen, boxes of napkins in the laundry room, my hair is in a practice updo (more hairspray than I’ve had in years), and I have shoes in my purse. It means gifts in the living room, knitting marathons for me (almost done with the fourth pillow!), and it means that I should not, under any circumstances, watch Father of the Bride. It means that we’re all excited and happy and yet have these surreal looks on our faces and impossible to-do lists.

Best of all, it means that in eleven days, I have a brother! And not just any brother… Jon is fantastic.

It also means that I will take any and all suggestions on how not to cry when I’m standing up there in the front.

Seriously. I’m a weeper. I cry when I’m happy and I cry when I’m sad. And since weddings are a weird and wonderful mix of emotions… I figure I’m in pretty deep trouble. (I cry at the weddings of people I don’t even like. Right.) I don’t know if there’s any mascara in the world that will be waterproof enough.

You have no idea how nervous I am about this! So send me your tricks of the trade, ways to disguise Kleenex in a bouquet, anything at all. I’ll listen…

More to come.—jl
