"Caresses"

Mother, mother, you kiss me,

but I kiss you more,

and the swarm of my kisses

won't even let you look...

If the bee gets into the lily,

you can't feel its flapping.

When you hide your little boy

you can't even hear him breathe...

I look at you, I look at you

without getting tired of looking,

and what a cute little boy I see

to your eyes...

The pond copies everything

what you're looking at;

but you in the girls you have

your child and nothing else.

The eyes you gave me

I have to spend them

to follow you through the valleys,

by the sky and by the sea...

The night before the wedding, when you're resting in your room, might be a good time to write a letter to your mother.

Focus on that moment.I'm sure you have a lot to tell your mom and even ask her through this writing. There will be time for her to give you the answers.

5. Letter with projections

Even though you're starting a new life with marriage, that doesn't mean that you'll separate from your mother or stop visiting her. On the contrary! You have a whole life ahead of you, so another idea is to write them a letter listing those plans you have pending, such as a trip you postponed because of the pandemic, going back to the movies together, or going to a new restaurant.

She also takes the opportunity to remind him that certain traditions, such as Christmas and New Year's dinners, will not be lost, but they will be different, now with more places at the table because the family has grown and, if it is in his plans, there could even be children fluttering around the table in the future.

How to deliver the letter

In Public

Surprise your mother by giving her the letter at an iconic moment of the celebration, for example, during the first toast as newlyweds. What's more, if you know she'll like the idea, read the letter aloud in front of all the guests, then give it to her and end the moment with a hug.

Now, if you prefer not to take away from the speeches, since other people will be speaking, then choose an exclusive moment to dedicate to your mother, for example, before serving dessert. The idea is that the guests are still seated, so that everyone is a witness of the magical moment that you will live with your mother.

In Private

On the other hand, if your mother is more reserved and might be uncomfortable if you read the letter out loud - not because of what it says, but so as not to cry in front of everyone - it's best to find a time when you're alone, either before or during the celebration.

If you are the bride, a good opportunity is before the ceremony, while you are getting dressed, your hair and make-up done, as your mother will surely be there with you. But if you are the groom and you don't meet your mother before, ask her to accompany you to the garden for a minute during the celebration, with the excuse of sewing on a button, for example, and then deliver your letter. You can read it to her first, orwell, leave her to read it on her own, if she prefers.
