Wedding, caterers, and diamonds, oh my!

My Sunshine is engaged! And I get my laundry room! Her very small bedroom is next to our bath, so the plumbing's there, it just needs a "little" tweaking to add some pipes for the washer. Hey, I had to think of something positive that would come out of losing my daughter to a boy from Rome, NY... 6 hours away!!!!!!!

He got her good, though. He came to visit, they went to look at rings, and he actually came home with one. She thought he wouldn't actually give it to her for at least 2 months, but when he asked The Hubs and me for permission to marry her, he also told me he wanted to give the ring to her in 2 days (that would have been this past Monday). So, I helped by getting her to the venue at which they want to wed with the ruse of taking pictures of them there. Meanwhile, I went ahead of time and dropped off roses and chocolates that Bryce bought and left. When they arrived, he gave her the goodies, told her all the ooey gooey stuff, then presented the ring. She was shocked! She wanted it to be a surprise in a quiet romantic spot, and Bryce pulled it off. She laughed and cried and laughed and cried and I showed up and really did take pictures.

It's going to be a busy year, but I'm excited for her and will be praying that her marriage has God as its center and is as joyful as mine has been to my Hubs.

Congratulations to you and your daughter. I know what you are feeling. I've done it twice. Funny how happy and sad can run so close, isn't it.
I wish them many years of hugs and happiness.

AWWWW! Congratulations! That is so sweet and exciting!
As a part-time professional videographer, I BEG you to hire a good videographer to shoot Sunshine's wedding! I guarantee all of you will adore going back years later and reliving her day not just through pictures but through sound and color and emotion! It's priceless!
OK, I'm stepping down off my soapbox now!
Congrats again!
