My eldest, Byron, and his fiancee, Katt, have selected a wedding date and venue... I am so excited! We will be having a Christmas wedding (December 21st) and I couldn't be any happier ((smile)).
(ATC made for The Altered Paper's Lace ATC Swap)
If you have children you know how we hope and pray that when they grow up and fall in love, that the person they select is "worthy" (maybe not the best choice of words) and that they are right for each other... well, Katt is exactly that for my Byron. If I had to select a daughter-in-law, Katt would my first and only choice. Byron is a very lucky man and our family is blessed for having her.
So... back to the wedding... Visions of candlelight, twinkling lights, red and cream roses... oh, I'm getting ahead of myself! I don't even know what the bride wants; and I need to be careful not to be the meddling "mother in law" (this will be a challenge, I admit)...
but I have had a lot of fun browsing through online photos!
Of course, I was attacted to all the PINK wedding themes (which definitely will not be the case here, as my future DIL is not a pink lover).
Like a pink wedding dress...
...and a second dress for after the ceremony...
(although, I'm not sure exactly how the bride will be able to dance in this one)
The bride's bouquet of pink roses...
Sweet, darling pink cupcakes for the guests...
The most beautiful cake...
Okay, now that I've had my fix of PINK weddings, back to the real world. Stay focused, Mercedes, we are planning a Christmas wedding.... (more to come).
All this pink browsing put me in the mood for some pink roses.... so I ran out and purchased a little bouquet at our corner grocer. ((sigh))
Happy Sunday, friends!
(did you remember to change your clocks?)
(and belated Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound)!
Best wishes on the future marriage of your son and his bride-to-be. It appears to be like you are already experiencing enchanting marriage ambitions. I LOVE your wonderful ATC! Definitely stunning!!!
