It Was A Very Married Holiday Season For This Mama!


It was a very married holiday season for this manic managed mom! For those of you that have followed my blog since I first created it in 2013, you have watched my kiddos grow up. It sure was true what they told me about not blinking. I blinked and now I am a brand new mother-in-law.

Such a beautiful bride and beaming proud groom!

This little boy is a full fledged 25-year-old loving husband! Read on to see a few fun pictures from the stunning wedding that he and his new wife (so fun to say that word) meticulously planned. The nuptials took place on November 12th and every bit of it was absolutely dreamy and super fun to experience from the mother of the son’s perspective. Congrats to our Jack and Hannah who dated for eight years before taking the plunge! I am one very happy mama! Here they are a few years ago…

These two cuties at their 2015 high school Homecoming dance.

2021 in Vail, Colorado. It was the perfect proposal.

November 12, 2022 – Officially Mr. and Mrs. Harris!

The proud father of the groom was asked to officiate. Very cool!

One of my favorite moments!

Oh my mama heart. I chose Rascal Flat’s song, “My Wish For You” for our mother and son dance. It Was The Best!

Proud fam with my daughter getting to be a bridesmaid for the first time, too.

And then there were five 🙂

It was also a blast to watch my girl have such a good time. She turned 21 a week before the wedding!

All the magical moments like the best man’s toast. So fun!

How fun is this shot of the handsome guys?! I have known most of these young men since they were in Kindergarten. Again, my mama heart!

Beautiful wedding party!

Our bride selected the perfect flowers!

And the bride and my gal pal, Bianca worked with me to select the most amazing dress from Dillard’s Scottsdale. See my morning show segment about how this dress has tons of tricks sewn in to it to flatter figures!

The moms! I loved how my dress and the mother-of-the-bride’s dress complimented each other. Happy mamas X2!

It was all so magical and the professional wedding photographers, Clove and Kin were fantastic!

Such a beautiful bride and beaming proud groom!

Dancing at the dinner.

I loved the outfit change for the dance part of the evening! Such a pretty and fun bride!

And my son’s outfit change was so handsome!

It was all so incredible from start to finish!

Cake cutting fun!

I highly recommend the venue! The L’Auberge in San Diego’s Del Mar community was perfection!

Hold em’ tight, Mamas!

This wonderful moment in time gets here fast!

Cheers to these two! I am so happy to join the MIL club. I am absolutely loving it!

Here’s to a bright and beautiful future!
