In all the (good) chaos pre-wedding, the wedding, the after-party Sunday, today, Monday is the 25th birthday of Grandhunk#3! It is not in Zack's nature to make a big deal about his birthday, he never has. But we couldn't let it almost get by in the process. GH#3 is an unusual being, not cut from a common mold. He has a unique abilty to charm your sox off. Of course, as his Grandma I am prejudiced, and TMI, but look ...

He used WonderWoman's phone to text himself this message ...

I told him once, "you act all cool and stuff, but you're a marshmallow inside.

" He smiled and said, "don't tell anybody."

Three boys so close in age & friendship, there was always something funny going on.

A Wedding Day to Remember.

I woke up at 8:30 am by WonderWoman, saying it was time to get up, and that I had French toast and orange juice being brought up to the room. She and I shared an adjoining room to the bride and bridesmaid suite on the eighth floor of the beautiful M resort. It was where the bride, bridesmaids & Mothers were to get ready for the day.

I heard was fairly loud country music and layers of happy chatter while teams of hair and make-up crews worked their magic on the bride's ladies. I pulled my chair next to the big window, looking out at Las Vegas in the distance. It was a perfect, beautiful day.

It was before 9 am, the huge pool and adjacent areas empty, but soon 5 lifeguards staffed the empty pool. Such a peaceful view with an exciting, wonderful life changing day ahead.

When we were ready, we checked out and I rode in my first party bus to the wedding venue, DragonRidge Country Club.

There's a lot of beautiful stories within this day, too many and too long to include here, Mother-son dance, here, I will close with a photo of Mr. and Mrs. Salloum.
