Hi Everyone... THANKS for the comments! In reading some responses, it seems as though Medieval-theme weddings are common in Calif....but not here in New Hampshire. The costumes had to be custom sewn by a local seamstress. I didn't make the cake, although I do make cakes for family occasions. They got the idea for a medieval wedding while on a trip to Montreal....there was a store there with medieval things and theirs is a "fairy tale" romance (having dated in high school and friends in elementary school)....so the idea of "Prince Charming" marrying his princess was appropriate.

You're participating in his assaults by NOT reporting him. How will you feel if next week he abuses that little baby and it dies? Will you feel badly that you could have done the right thing and reported it, but didn't? or will you just be glad it wasn't you he killed? I'm sorry--really I am--to be so blunt, but you're describing a very serious situation. Your son SHOULD be in jail. He won't learn to grow up and be responsible until those around him insist that he face the appropriate consequences for his actions. At the very least, Monday morning, call your lawyer, sit down with him/her, tell them everything. Find out what your responsibilities are (could you be charged with a crime if you DON'T report the crimes you know he's committed?) and what your options for protecting yourself are. Get the right answers from a professional in your jurisdiction. And while you're at it, please also research shelters in your area. Keep that info on you, just in case you or the baby's mother need it. I do wish you the best, but I also hope you realize what you have to do and do it.

Nanajayne - the bride and all of the bridesmaids put handwarmers in their bras!!! Most of the groomsmen also put them in the back pockets of their pants! I had them in my shoes and bra, too, since it was only about 35 degrees! It was a wonderful day - I am anxious to see the photos from the photographer. She only posted 6 on her "preview" so will have to wait for the kids to get the CD! Bev, I am sure you will enjoy an extended stay if you come in May. The national park is beautiful at that time of year! Hard to believe she is graduating already! Enjoy your Christmas break with her! Sue

Choose something that has meaning to the two of you, not something all-purpose. If it were my son's wedding, it would probably be "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," because we both love baseball. What would mean something to YOU? Congratulations!!!
