Dear God,

Please forgive me, I am new at this. Please, in your own wonderful way, let our two very favorite day-of the wedding coordinators see past our attempt to hire them for what one might construe as embarassingly less than the going rate, less than their customary asking price, frankly, less than what I am certain they are worth. Let them know that deep down inside, we are cheap. Moreover, let them understand that 2 weeks ago we were taking her home from the hospital. Last week, she broke her leg jumping off a trash can, learned how to ride a crazy horse and graduated from high school. 3 days ago she went away by herself to college and yesterday, she fell in love. Please let them know that we meant no harm or disrespect, we’re just a couple of crazy kids ourselves, trying to give their baby girl a good send off. Thank you, God, Amen.
