I wanted to wait for Beverly to spill the beans about our big day since it's mostly her family that reads my blogs and I thought it would be better coming from her. So, now that it's all out there I can vent. It went from private ceremony and dinner to witnesses and reception minus the DJ (my mom did find one just in case). I ended up having to design a cake with a specialist and try to match wristlets with the dresses. These are all decisions I never intended to make. But no matter how many times I say, "I just want to have dinner", my bridezilla mom won't listen. I am really, really grateful that Beverly and Brad are coming because my mom would have done all this anyway and Wayland would have been really left out without his family. We really should have planned it better so more could share our day with us and please know that we are feeling guilty about this. We only wanted to get it over with. Sorry Wayland, I couldn't stop this freight train.
PS. I am secretly super excited!
PSS. I forgot to warn the Paxmans about the Squeteri's... I was joking about telling them to prepare for the hurricane weather but I am not joking about my family. They are loud, they bicker, they are always right and they are Italian. 5 Squeteri's in one room could easily sound like 20. I am expecting 18 so... brace yourselves.

Congrulation's Joanie & Wayland. The best to both of you. I am so glad Bev and Brad get to come see you guy's get married. Best Wishes. Love, Aunt Carole
This cracks me up. I'm laughing outloud! Us mom's just can't stop ourselve's can we?! We are pushy, obnoxious, know-it-alls! We THINK we know what you want or need. I was a definate Bridezilla mom with Kendall. She just sorta sat backed and watched the show. Oh Joanie, I hope your not too put out. It will soon be over and your lives will be back to normal before you know it.
And as far as the Squeteri's go... Not too worry. I love loud Italians. They are entertaining and lovable. And genuine to the core.
Can't wait for the fun to begin!!!
I am getting so excited for you. Don't stress out it sounds like everything will go without a hitch with or without you. Moms are great, they always have the best intentions.
P.S. Not to worry about the loud Squeteri's, Paxman's aren't that quiet. Some of Waylands uncles and cousins (namely Tanner) are quite loud. :)
Joanie (and Wayland) CONGRATULATIONS! You will be glad that you shared this important day with your loved ones, loud and obnoxious or not. And, just so you know, Bev and her family can be loud and obnoxious (and not to mention COMPLETELY RETARDED) when they all get together as well!
;-)
I am very excited for you and wish you the best!
