Ah, the groom's mother....
Tracie was in my opinion the perfect mother of the groom....
From the first hint of a wedding she was online looking for the perfect etiquette....
She found her place and stayed in it.....
But she also made sure every detail was perfect....
Perfect........
But then that's the girl I have lived with these 26 years.....
From little engagement gifts to taking care of the slightest of details of the rehearsal dinner.....
I thought a good rehearsal dinner could be a hot dawg supper...
But to Tracie is was to be nearly formal and perfect.....
Hot dawgs were not on the menu....
Rather the banquet room at Brady's Landing with the ship channel view along with a most incredible seafood buffet....
My job was the cash....
But to Tracie every detail must be perfect....
And it was....
The wedding moment arrived....
I am standing on the stage with the groom....
When Tracie steps in the door to be escorted to her seat....
Standing there in the suit we had made for her with those perfect shoes she drove me crazy about and the little $9 purse we spent $100 worth of gas looking for....
Alone, she stood....
My single regret of the entire wedding process was not being able to walk with her and hold her hand during the wedding....
But there she stood.....
Beautiful and poised with the lady like class she always carries....
I remembered the last time I saw her escorted down a similar aisle as my bride....
I could see the tears on the edge because her baby was being married....
I grinned and teared myself when Trent left the stage to escort his momma over to the unity candle...
I marvelled at her continued beauty.....
My heart swelling with pride and love and admiration.......
And when she sat our eyes met.....
Words need not be exchanged for with that look many other things were....
I truly am a blessed man........
I love you Tracie....

Ahhhh...that was a sweet tribute to the mother of the groom. She truly did look classy and everything was just perfect. Beautiful wedding....beautiful couple...
You still have a lovely bride today. And she is one classly lady.
Always a lady...I love her too!
Thanks, babe for being sweet to me! Girls, I love you all and hope to be a great role model for each of you to follow. We sure haven't been perfect in parenting but our failures have been attempts to do what is right! I hope I have been a good example even during a wedding how to be a Mom to the very end....Trent texted tonight. They are having a terrific time! He said the food @ the resort is amazing! ha
