Last Friday a caravan headed to Winter Park, destination: Solutio.ns Bridal. We were strictly on a fact finding mission. Checking out the bridesmaid dresses and gazing a bit towards the bridal gowns. We had all the bridesmaid minus 2 so we wanted to get a feel for what they wanted. We found the perfect dress for them. Tall, short, curvy, straight, bosomy or not. This was the dress. They happened to have one in the right color, stunning! Oh yeah we found this dress after 4 hours of Erinn trying on gowns, fact finding only. Until.....she tried on "the one" it was magic. She walked, sat, danced, kneeled and it was perfect. Like her future MIL, Beth, said when she walked out you saw the whole picture, not just Erinn, not just the dress but the bride. And the headpiece? Started out as a little comic relief but yet..no veil for my sassy modern southern bride. Did I mention we had to sedate Erinn to remove the dress? This is how much she loved it.
We had our dear friends, the Styrons in from Alabama for the weekend. It never matters how long we go without seeing them we are back on Bristol Place (where we met) 21 years ago. The girls (Erinn & Elizabeth) were just 6 months old, our families clicked. I treasure this family.
We also had the Virginia part of the family in plus Aunt Mary from south Florida. Jackson had a blast with Toby even though Toby tried to get fancy with him the last morning. Such a sweet baby. (both of them!) It made Erinn's day that so many of her family came to share in her happiness.
The Browns threw a fabulous party. What a great family Erinn is joining. How did all the kids grow up? It seems like yesterday when I met some of them in kindergarten. Does this mean I am older?
Peace Out
