Oh Jane,
I'm so excited for you....there's nothing better than our children's weddings. I can't wait to hear about all of the preparations and how everything is progressing as the year goes by.
They look a lovely couple and, what a romantic gesture with the rose petals etc.
Please send congratulations from Jackie in England and I wish them many, many happy times together. XXXX

WONDERFUL NEWS, JANE!
I send the Best of Love and wish many blessings for their marriage and the wedding planning. You are going to have so much fun!
I can't tell you how many times we watched "Father of the Bride."
The last was when we had breakfast together as a family on Chrislyn and Jason's wedding day!
Here's to a lifetime of love,
romance,and the humor that embraces baseball caps and beer in the Christmas picture!

Blogger Auntie sezzzzzz... said...

Such lovely news! Congratulations to them.

And so nice that he is so thoughtful, all ways. :-)

Perhaps you remember, that I left blogging totally, a while ago? A needed and a good break.

But I wanted someplace to post photos, so I started-up an old Blogger blog of mine, but without allowing comments. (So I'd not get back into full time Blogging, or so it seemed to me)

Then, after doing some quite regular posting, as well as photos, I turned Comments back on. To see if I could do this, and still be LESS IN "Pretty Blog Land" than I had been.

So far so good! I'm enjoying posting. I'm also keeping myself from getting totally immersed in blogging, again. As I had been, and as what had me 'burned out.'

And that is my tale. :-)

Gentle hugs,
"It is a joy to walk in the bare woods. The moonlight is not broken by the heavy leaves. The leaves are down, and touching the soaked earth, Giving off the odors that partridges love."

Hi Jane,
Thank you for all your beautiful visits and comments I will treasure.

How wonderful young love is, and your daughter looks so happy! I am sure your days and weeks to come will be filled gathering up inspiration for an eventful wedding to remember.

It will be exciting to see the event taking on all that you inspire and the photos that will follow, I just love weddings I even cry at the weddings of couples I don't even know, there like little Halmark commercials :)

Have a peacefully inspiring weekend of calm.
Cheers to your news of an engagement!
