Adele Brown, My Daughter
“My beloved spoke and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.’” Song of Solomon 2:10
On December 17th, 2011, my daughter, Adele, married the love of her life in a beautiful ceremony at a small church in Derby, Kansas. The wedding was a wonderful evening full of flowers, candles, cake, food, music, a beautiful bride, and many of the things that we have come to expect at a wedding. Leading up to this amazing night, however, were many stress-filled hours, for my daughter and I, spent wondering how we were going to make everything go smoothly. I am just an English teacher and a mom! I am not a wedding planner! The only real wedding I had any experience with was my own—and I spent that day in a dreamy daze, AND my mom planned most of it. So, if you are like me, then you might have more questions about how to plan a wedding than you have answers, questions like:
Shane and Adele Brown
How much money will I need to spend? Where will the wedding be located? What will the invitations look like? Who will make the cake and arrange the flowers? Will there be a catered dinner, or will cake, cupcakes, mints, nuts, and punch be served? Questions like these spun in my mind. After the wedding was over, I found all of my lists and schedules for the wedding and wondered if there might be another stressed mother-of-the-bride, or bride-to-be out there who could benefit from my blood, sweat, and tears—and sleepless nights. I began to compile this wedding book, in the hopes that something in it might help another mother-of-the-bride or bride to make some wonderful memories and create a day that the bride and her spouse would never forget. This is the no-nonsense book that I wish I had found as a reference to help me plan my daughter Adele’s wedding!
ARISE, MY BELOVED: Simple Suggestions for a Wonderful Wedding includes all of my lists and schedules, and many of my emails that I used to keep me sane and organized before my daughter’s special day! Of course you won’t use mine exactly as they are written, but you can have a template to adapt to your own unique ideas and special plans.
