So, I might be a little bias as she is my mother - but realistically, she did a wonderful job for me and my husband. In some ways I was worried that marrying off her daughter would be overly emotional and we'd end up with the officiant speaking through sobs - add on the fact that my grandfather (her father) died just 2 days prior to the ceremony, I was extra worried. But my mother is a professional - she even asked a back up to come to the ceremony and be ready to take over just in case the heightened emotions did get to her. She worked with me for about 2 years to write our ceremony and get it just right for us. It was beautiful to hear my words read by my mom.

I had a lot of people comment at the reception at how beautiful mom handled everything - even the hiccups. She handled everything with grace and professionalism. My husband and I were very happy we asked her to do this. I have no doubt she gives as much love and attention to all her brides as she did her own daughter.
