A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Hi,
Well the long 19 month planning period is finally over. My daughter, Candace, was wed last Saturday to Rob Samuels, my new son in law. It was a beautiful day and ceremony. I am going to try to post some pics. I would appreciate any comments you feel the need to make. I personally think she was absolutely beautiful, but then I am a little one sided where she is concerned. LOL

Now, how could we not comment!
Your daughter was a beautiful bride, handsome groom, too. And the setting at Houmas House was perfect! Somehow I missed the ones of the Mother of the Bride. I'll bet you need a rest now. Are they still moving to Seattle in June?

Thank you Vicky for your reply. Yes, she and Rob are moving June 10th. Mama didn't take any pics of herself, hahaha, but the photographer has some of us, only he hasn't posted them yet. I will post some when I get them.

What beautiful pictures of a beautiful bride in a beautiful wedding setting. I know you are bursting with pride and rightfully so. You must be exhausted too. And thank you for posting them here...cause now I know who that beautiful girl was in the pics I received in my E-mail too!

She is so pretty!!! lovely setting now what you need to do is rest up
sheila

Beautiful...looks like a fairy tale wedding! You must be so proud!

I didn't realize how much she looks like you.....what a beautiful setting for a beautiful bride! Congrats, Mom!

Yes Liz,
After I posted them, I realized I hadn't identified her. I am still flying high, absolutely nothing went wrong! To be such a big event, we were sure something would go wrong, but it didn't. A friend and I were talking about 2 weeks before the event and I jokingly told her I could have planned and executed World War III quicker than planning this wedding. The thing I am most proud of was that we didn't have a Bridezilla (just let her out of the bag one time) and that was when they messed up Candi's dress on the final fitting. But she handled it in style, put her foot "firmly down", and they corrected the mistake. David's Bridal is still standing in New Orleans.
The only remark I can think of that sums it up, is "Thank you Lord!!!"
Thank all of you for your kind remarks. I know I am going to need all the help of the "sistahs" when she moves in June. She lived at home with us until she was 26 when she moved to New Orleans. She is my only child and I know I am going to have trouble dealing with her moving so far away. So bear with me if I come on and post some whiny posts.

Since I'm new here and still getting to know everybody, I just wanted to say your daughter does indeed look like you and she was a beautiful bride. Great looking groom too. The pictures wre beautiful and to a winter weary "northerner" they looked likek heaven. Such a beautiful spot.
I am an only child too, and I lived with my parents my entire life. We were one close famlly. Now of course they have gone on to a far greater "home" so I am here alone. My mother was from Washington. A beautiful state.
So now you can rest up and then hop in your rig and head up there to visit once she moves. After all that's what we have RV's for.

what beautiful pictures Marslet, your daughter is gorgeous and what a great choice
on the dress. Now you can sit back, relax and unwind, its all done!

Wow, that looks like a HUGE wedding .... What is Houmas House? is that owned in your family or is it a public place?

Yes, she is very lovely. Were there candid shots too? I always like them better than formal shots.

Now you can relax,... And say "job well done!" Mother-of-the-bride!

she looks like a princess - beautiful dress - handsome groom and gorgeous setting. Now get yourself a BIG glass of wine and relax.

Oh my, she is beautiful! The dress was awesome and the place spectacular! You outdid yourself, Mom. You should be extremely proud.

Everything is just beautiful, especially the bride! Her bouquet is spectacular.
