The typical preparations
were made as with any wedding. This
wedding though is a Royal wedding because Dad’s last name is Royal. Claudia and Dad decided to have all of their
children in the wedding. At the front of
the church beside Dad will be Joann, myself, Jennifer, and Jamie. Next to Claudia will be her children Adam,
and Kelli. There was not going to be a best
man or a maid of honor. Just both of
their families supporting them and standing beside them at the altar.
Claudia wanted us to
have the color raspberry in our dresses.
We could mix and match our dress tops and skirts. Everyone picked their favorite from the
bridal shop, and it turned out no one had the same outfit. Claudia picked out the shoes, and we were
going to wear our pearl necklaces Grandmother started for us when we were young. Grandmother would add pearls to the necklace
for each of our birthdays.
I talked with Aunt Julie
on the phone. She told me Nana would not
be attending the wedding. Nana would
find it difficult to be in the church where Mom had been and because she had
been to church with Mom. It would be
depressing for her to see them, and it would be hard without Mom being there.
Nana called Dad and told
him it was not any rejection on her part and explained the situation to
him. Julie also told me when Nana’s first
husband died (Mom’s daddy), his mom and his grandmother did not want to come
over to her house. Julie told me it
bothered Nana because they did not want to come over anymore. Now Nana knows how it feels because it is too
hard for her right now to come to Mom’s church to see Dad and Claudia get
married.
U Are you aware there may be loved ones that will
not be able to attend the wedding because it is too painful for them to go
through? U
