Cindy, I have a feeling she doesn't just love your son. She's probably thrilled to have you now for her Mom-in-law. You are going to have a special relationship for sure.
She is a lovely girl and it has to mean so much to her to know she has you and your husband helping her. It is her parents loss and someday they will regreat not being a part of her wedding.
She is a lovely young girl and looks beautiful in her lovely dress. Hope the wedding goes well and you all enjoy it. May you have lots more precious moments like this.
She looks so beautiful. Imagine how she is going to look on the wedding day. Enjyou your daughters. Hugs Marie
Oh my- she looks beautiful and so radiantly happy :)

So sweet of you to help her at this time. What a wonderful way to welcome her to your family. She will always remember your kindness to her. The dress is lovely and she looks so happy she is beaming.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

Your Daughter is lovely and I know you all will have a wonderful special wedding day! LLDS!
Cindy, she is blessed to have you helping her for this memorable occasion. You and she are making wonderful memories, just in the planning stage! See that sweet smile. She will forever remember your assistance during this happy time!
Members of families become estranged for many reasons, and its best they all rise above them to enjoy life that is happening NOW! Encourage her to do all she can to repair the family issues, and to request them to be a part of her happy day! Tell her, irregardless of her family's responses, to feel good that she tried to include them. Hopefully, they will come around and be happy for her. Congratulations to the bride and groom! (Also, to YOU!!)
Hugs,
Angel
Angel you are an angle, I agree 100%! Thanks for putting it so succinctly. LLDS!
Their loss and it is sad... good thing she has you in her life. What a special day... More to follow too.. many happy days ahead... Suzanne
The dress looks lovely. She is a very lucky girl to have In Laws to be like you. I hope the wedding goes off well. Shirley
She looks lovely & it's her turn to shine. Enjoy the moments you have with her in the planning of the wedding. I only have 1 step-daughter & 2 step-sons & wasn't involved in any of their weddings - only attending them. Have fun in all that you are making too.
This post probably sounded funny...I would liked to have been involved with their wedding preparations but wasn't asked/invited...I did offer to help. They know that I sew & do crafty things.
I feel very honored that she has asked me to make her wedding veil and all of the decorations.
I'm sure you will do a splendid job of them all too. I don't think you mentioned when the wedding will be. Hope you have plenty of time to have fun making these things.
You have plenty of time then. Have you made a start or got any ideas as yet?
Do you know what type of veil she would like. Have a look on the net, I did see one & forgot to take note of where it was in case you were interested.
She is so beautiful and the dress is lovely. You are very lucky. Her parents should be ashamed for not attending.
How fun for you - it is their loss. Sounds like there are many issues - hope that everything works out to where she doesn't feel slighted. You are doing the right thing.
She looks lovely and this dress is wonderful.
Shirlene, Thank you, I felt really sad when her dad would not stay so her mom could go with us. Her dad is very controlling.
Looks wonderful on her and it fits perfect. The lace is so pretty around the neckline. Getting married is a special time and I'm glad you are able to be there and help her.
a lovely picture. A beautiful smile I'm glad she has you Cindy.Too bad her fmly is not supportive, wonder what they will be like when the Grands start coming?/Lillian
It's wonderful that she is marring into such a loving family but a shame her parents are not more supportive. Their loss.
Her dress is beautiful!!! I love the bodice. Same style my DIL and one of my daughters wore. What a beautiful bride!
What a pretty dress! And pretty girl! I hope her parents will change their mind and participate in this event. I couldn't imagine not being with my daughter on her special day. What a regret they'll have. So glad that you're involved. She will treasure that.
Her father is very controlling and she actually lived with her grandmother during her teen years and had custody of older sisters baby for the first 9 months because her sister always came home drunk.
She has gone through alot in her 26 years.
Cindy She will be beautiful walking down the aisle. I hope her parents change their minds and will participate in her happiness. Hugs, Mary
I think they will be at the wedding but they are missing all of the wedding planning festivities. My husband and I are pretty much acting as her parents.
Beautiful dress and bride to be! Hopefully her mother will get involved soon or she will regret missing out on what will be the happiest day of her daughter's life.
Thank you! I agree. I had so much fun yesterday. You still are in my thoughts and prayers
Dear Cindy, what a beautiful dress and I love the beadwork. Also, what a lovely smile your daughter in law to be has. Does she have long hair? Love Chris
Yes she has long hair and is going to wear it up for the wedding. She has asked me to make her veil and her ring bearer pillow and flower girl baskets. I am so excited. Thanks Chris
She looks gorgeous and will be a beautiful bride. Her parents will regret not being involved for years to come. Hugs Lynn
Thank you Lynn. This planning stage is so much fun. I am so glad that she has become part of our life.
