I come from a fairly large family filled with siblings, my beloved Fat Daddy, my mom, aunts, uncles, cousins, "play cousins," godparents . . . you get the picture.
So, my version of parents included any "elder" in the family.
Since I started Howerton+Wooten Events, I've seen so many new versions of parents -- single moms, single dads, divorced parents, stepmoms, stepdads, grandparents, godparents, two moms, two dads, aunts, uncles.
Life doesn't always present us with the family dynamic that you see on The Brady Bunch or Leave it to Beaver.
But, I have found that this is okay with most brides and grooms. Why?
Because, how you define your parents doesn't matter nearly as much as the love, encouragement and support you receive from them throughout your life.
I know, I know. It sounds cheesy. But, you know I am speaking the truth!
Love and Soul Always, Kay
