    I just wanted to give my mom a quick shout-out on here. She has been super supportive through the whole wedding planning so far and I just found a little surprise she left me on my blog. She commented on my blog entry about possible jewelry options and said she'd pay for the jewelry. How awesome is she?

    Did any of your family or friends suprise you with their generosity for your wedding?

    I love your mom too!! lol

    My mom is doing all my flowers for free (she's a florist)! The services she's providing would have cost me like $4000 had I not been her daughter lol.

    YAY! i love my mom, too =]

    Mine did all the flower assembly, put together my programs for me, let me borrow her nice (aka priceless) jewelry, randomly picked me up a vintage clutch, did my escort cards, bought my dress, and was overall super cool beans about everything =]. She keeps me level headed

    How cool your mom is getting your jewelry! I'm such a sucker for emotional stuff like that. I lvoe when i can say "thanks mom got it for me!"! Mush.

    I made a post earlier ... she just surprised me with a ring pillow!

    This is her "first wedding" .. so really she is on a roller coaster of emotions I think =)

    What a great surprise from Mom!

    My mom surprised me with helping out with the wedding in general - I thought we were going it alone and so when we were picking dates we were thinking 2010 (time to save) but my mom said no your are getting married next year (2010) I will make sure of it.... I cried!!!!!!!!

    Yes, my mom is fantastic!!  She's been super supportive...listening to me vent, throwing my shower, going to appointments with me, and the list goes on and on...Without her, I would have felt so alone in this process.  My younger brother has been awesome too!  He's still in college and I think he's in lala land alot of times, but when I need him he does pull through.

    I've only been on the board complaining about my mom but I must say, she has done a drastic uphill on her emotional roller coaster and I am so grateful for all she has done for me. Everyone has done so much, unexpectedly so yay!! Let's hear it for generosity, as a virtue, we must carry on and never forget to share with others...especially with our future daughters.

    Seriously... YAY to the great Moms out there.

    My Mom helped me out so much for our wedding. She did a lot of the dirty work since I didn't live in the town that the wedding took place in. Everything she put her hands on came out beautifully. I am truly grateful!

    I am so glad she is my Mama!!

    My parents and sister were nothing short of amazing throughout the whole planning process -- listening when I had to vent, helping wherever they could.  Weddings bring out the worst in some people, but they brought out the best in my inner circle!
