In three days, my son Charlie will marry his darling Thaís. I couldn’t be happier--except that I’m a little sad. As soon as Charlie met this wonderful girl, I knew that my days as the most important woman on his planet were numbered. It feels a bit like the empty nest syndrome, now that my guy has moved on to become her guy.
Congratutlations! I have this one very distinct memory of Charlie as a little toddler - he was maybe 2 years old, I was working in NGM Editorial on the 7th floor. I was on the phone with someone and I sensed that there was someone in my doorway (back when we had offices!!) and it was Don and the cutest little toeheaded baby boy, Charlie! I remember saying to whoever I was on the phone with "OH MY GOD there is the cutest little blonde baby in my doorway, I have to go!" I remember it made my day.
Love this post Annie. Congratulations. I can very much relate to the feeling. Just remember it only means your family is now growing, as I hope mine will one day. Sending you a giant hug.

I remember that little guy too. He is now 6'3"...but still adorable. Thanks.
that seems impossible!
Such a beautiful couple; such hope for the future! Many Blessings
A fairy tale wedding on the water. Congratulations to the bride and groom and the amazing mother, mother-in-law. It will be wonderful!
