While I made this announcement on FB, I realized that I had yet to share the news on my blog. Kaelee is engaged to be married!!! Bryan, bless his heart, followed all the proper protocol in asking for our blessing, and we couldn't be more happy for these two!
Kaelee is the epitome of a planner, so there is no rushing this wedding. She knows herself well, so she has allowed plenty of time for planning so that she can enjoy it and not get stressed over having to make rushed decisions. The official date is June 17, 2016.
A few weeks ago, we ventured into the world of wedding dresses. I guess I should have known when we walked into the boutique & were required to put these huge, very pink shower cap-type things over our shoes by a rather abrupt older woman that it might not be a storybook experience. Let's just say we ended up having more fun shopping together at Target and going out for lunch. :)
Take Two on Bridal Dresses...I had a good feeling when we were escorted to our own private try-on area, and *these* were on the table.
What a difference!! We had a wonderful person helping us, no rushing, no pressure...just fun! And guess what? I cried. I did! Kaelee had found three dresses that were "maybe's", so she went through trying them on again. Up to this point, I had been very objective trying to give practical opinions, but something happened when she put that third dress back on. Suddenly I just saw my sweet girl beaming, & it all just hit me. Those precious moments of seeing joy in the face of your child....ahhh, the tears just came! She decided that was her dress, and by golly, then I knew we had picked the right place to shop because they busted out glasses of champagne!
What a special day with my girl. I can't wait to go back to this place with the whole entourage when Kearsten comes home in June. The plan is for her sisters to help her decide on a veil, and we'll begin the shopping for bridesmaids dresses. It makes me smile just thinking about it.
