After over 10 years of wanting a daughter, my husband and I adopted a baby girl in China in 2006. My son traveled with us for the adoption, and right from the start Kaylie adored her big brother! Even though there is a 15 year age difference, they have a typical brother/sister relationship! Kaylie is 4 now, and will be the flower girl in her Aunt's (my sister) wedding next month. She is so beautiful, smart and funny - I am sure she will be very entertaining at the reception, and adorable dancing with her family who all love her so much!
ReplyDeleteThe story I am about to tell is somewhat embarrassing. It is not a unique story, but sometimes we feel so alone in our struggle. I am not the bride nor am I the mother of the flower girl, but I am the mother of the bride and the grandmother of the flower girl. The last two years have been the hardest my husband and I have ever faced. My husband lost his job, then I lost mine, we lost our 10 week old grandson to SIDS, we lost our home, I lost my father (all in 15 months). When my daughter and her soon-to-be husband anounced they were getting married, we were so happy. Financially, we cannot give her the wedding she so deserves. She and her fiance are paying for their own wedding. I offered to at least get my granddaughter's flower girl dress (her mother has lost her job also). But as the wedding is getting closer (Oct. 10th), I can't even afford this simple luxury. We feel so guilty and ashamed of how our lives have taken this turn. If you can help me provide this one small gift for my daughter, I would greatly appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI am the grandmother/legal guardian/mother by love, of the flower girl in the upcoming wedding of my older brother’s youngest daughter. The flower girl is a 6 year old who delights everyone she meets. She has had her struggles in life; her mother (my daughter) got pregnant with her when she was in high school, the dad was an unemployed boy 2 years older but no wiser. They have taken themselves out of her/our lives and have chosen not provided for her in any way. She has always been in my home so we have a great relationship, I love her dearly. 5 years ago just before her 2nd birthday I reunited with the love of my life. (We had met in our early 20's, dated, parted with great sorrow and continued on in life. I married/had 2 children/divorced etc., and he proceeded to live the lonely life of a confirmed bachelor.) We have since married and share our lives with this wonderful girl. My husband never married and has no biological children. He adores his step-granddaughter and feels as if she is his own blood. Dancing is one of her favorite things in life and her only requested was that the dress be one that is full and twirls well. Our little flower girl (this is her 3rd go, she is the favorite choice in the family, only wee one close) is eagerly waiting her duties.
ReplyDeleteI met my fh when we were school mates in middle school in 1991. We dated on and off a few times until we met up again 2 years ago. After dating a few months we both knew that we were meant for each other. A few months after our 1 year anniversary together a year ago today I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have a family history of breast cancer I lost my grandmother to it and my aunt to it in 2005. I knew I was going to have a long fight ahead of me. I had a bi lateral mastectomy at 28 years old and had to have reconstructive surgery. Then a month after my surgery had to go through the roughest 6 months which included 2 rounds of aggressive chemotherapy. Throughout the surgery and chemotherapy my fiance was with me every step of the way. I was sick, bald, and my entire body and life had changed from what I knew. I knew that I had to beat this for myself and my family. In Feb 09 I had scans completed and was told by my doctor that I was cancer free although I have the BRCA 1 gene. Therefore, I now have to watch my ovaries and go for yearly scans. 2 months after completing chemotherapy my Fiance and I went to walt disney world for vacation and to put all of this behind us and begin to make new happy memories to replace those painful ones we had from my recent battle. On Easter sunday in the Magic Kingdom in front of everyone my fiance got down on one knee. He told me that we have had such a rocky road and that he knows how much I love fairytales and he wants me to have my happily ever after. He said its a year of celebration at disney and we have ALOT to celebrate. He then asked me to do him the honor of being his wife. I was shocked, what a magical day and a wonderful way to start our life off. After getting engaged early in the day we called my niece (flower girl) I asked her over the phone and since that day she has been so excited to be a part of the happy time in my life when she also was there for the sad and hard times we had. We are looking forward to the big day.
ReplyDeletePropsal story….hmmm ok here goes…John and I had been talking about getting engaged for a bit. He even opened up a "bling bling" account where he saved for my ring. He's not good at keeping things to himself so he told me the day he went to the jewler and looked at rings. He described what it was like to see a ring through that lense thingy too, he was so excited. After all of this, I kind of knew it was coming. Quick background, when we first started hanging out, john kept pursuing me but I wasn’t ready for a relationship. Finally when I decided to go with it I had texted him saying to pick a date (meaning a date we will make it official). From that point on he always joked he would propose to me via text message just like how we started our relationship.
ReplyDeleteCome time for him to decide he wants to propose, he tried SO hard to keep everything a secret and surprise. No such luck! First I get to work and he emails me trying to get me to go to the library with him after work. I didn’t want to go so I kept refusing but he wouldn’t let it go. He kept pressing the issue. All of a sudden I get a text that says "forget about tonight, she wont come to the library". So I write back to him "huh?" and he writes it again, so I said "are you texting the wrong person?". He responds with no and then emails me telling me that im acting like a little princess and im too good to go to the library so he was "mocking" me on the text about how im too good for that. I though it was kind of a weird excuse but I let it go. I def had a feeling he was texting the wrong person. Few hours go by and I receive an email in my mailbox titled "Pics of Ring" and its from John. I panic. I don’t open it. I email him asking if I was supposed to get this email and if I should look at it. He freaks out and says no. he put my email on it by accident and sent me an email with pics of my ring and step by step plan on how he was going to propose. I was such a good girl…I didn’t read it! I deleted it! It was hard but I did it.
That night we went to his mom's house and then to dinner with our best friends. All is well and no one is acting funny. However I did tell my friend about the weird library text. We get home from dinner and as we walk to our apartment John looks at me and says "you're ugly" I'm like "gee thanks babe". That wasn’t out of the ordinary since we jokie around a lot. I open the door and there are rose petals leading from the door to the bedroom and then all over the bed. Propped up on a pillow is my old cell phone and on the screen the words "Will You marry Me" are typed. My ring was tied to the antenna with fishing line. I jumped up and down like a little kid hugging and kissing him. When I finally stopped John spilled out how nervous he was because he messed up twice that day with the text and email. He tried getting me to go to the library so my best friend could set up the apartment but he sent that text to me instead. Silly boys!!
