A Joyous Occasion Approaches
I found out last week that my grandaughter’s beau asked for her father for her hand in marriage. He is planning on proposing next Saturday down by the river when they are getting their photos made for the spring dance. Shhhh! it’s a secret, she doesn’t know! He wants the whole family there so that we can witness the engagement! So I’m going to be working as hard as I can this week to be as thin as I can be for a hefty gal. LOL
When my son got married three years ago I bought two dresses, one was a little tighter than I like but I loved the dress. I ended up wearing the other because I decided to be as comfortable as I could be for that long day! The one I didn’t wear is still hanging in the closet in the dress bag and the beautiful matching shoes with it. It is a size 16. I really hope its too big by the time these kids get married but if not, I have a lovely dress all ready for me to shrink into! I better go get busy! :D
And you will be a lovely Grandmother of the bride. I am going to my grandson’s graduation from a private college and I really don’t know what to wear. My dressy dresses are pooling on the floor since I am at goal and I really don’t care for new clothes. Maybe I can wear dressy long skirt and tunic?? This is not a problem I thought I would have. Have fun and I know you will. Love your smile. Hugs, Marge
I have a modest 2 piece bathing suit haning in plain view for this summer. Most days I see it as motivation, but other times it is a source of guilt. I have a feeling that is we both get into our ‘goal attire’ we will be rockin’. We can do it! No guilt attached, just a source of pride of what we know we can do! I think I’ll take a picture of my ss and put it up as my profile pic - that should keep it in mind!
MARGE, I’m sure you will be smashing in your new graduation outfit! what a lovely problem to have! Thanks for the sweet compliment!Hugs back to you!
Wisty,wisty, wisty! You have such Wistywonderful Rockstar ideas! I should do that as well!
Holly I am sure that you will be in that dress and congratulations on your new grandson-in-law!
What a happy blog!!! How sweet to propose by the river, bet its just beautiful there.
And YOU will be the most beautiful Grandma ever!!! No matter what size, your beautiful inside and out
Jane, You are soooo sweet thank you! It is beautiful here in the spring. There are lots of dogwoods and blooming trees down by the river and nice green grass, so it will be a lovely spot for engagement photos!
I think you are going to have to have that lovely new dress taken in as it will be toooo big. -Dee
Ahhh that’s lovely that he asked the father of the soon-to-be bride 1st…how classic!
