Here I am, the mother of the bride, sitting in the chair the freshly-coiffed bride-to-be just vacated. My sister (a cosmetologist) and I are in a lull of activity, having helped my only daughter and her attendants prepare for her wedding. The designated place at our church for the ladies to get ready is the toddler room, so the mirrors are at floor level. They had to sit on the floor to do their makeup!
