Here are a few more snap shots from the big day! I was born nine months and four days after this big event, and my niece was born nine months and four days after her parents were married. Talk about a family tradition! Tall Guy and I missed the mark by a few months, but we tried to keep up the tradition! ;-)
Grandpa Todd made my mom's wedding dress from lace he brought back from Japan while serving in WWII. He also brought back a pearl necklace that Mom wore for her wedding, as did I and then my niece.
Now pardon me as I scurry around to take pictures of Tink on her first day back to school! Woo! One down and one to go. Bear has a half day on Monday, and then she gets to ride the bus with big sister on Tuesday! Gulp! I have my happy dance all ready, but I think I had better have some tissues ready just in case I go all Mommy on her!
Big congrats to them. I got married in the same church both my maternal grandparents and parents were married in so 3 generations. So I think it's wonderful that you did the same.
ReplyDeletewhat a special tradition you all share....from the lace to the pearls to the church, this is just wonderful! i know you feel very blessed to have such a heritage! happy friday and thank you for your gracious words on my blog. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post! Hope the first day back to school goes well for your daughter - and you! :-) They grow up way too fast!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Its nowhere near as special yet but I bought my niece a set of pearls when I was traveling to China and she plans to hand them down to the daughter she adopted when she gets married. Love those threads that connect us all.
