Yesterday my daughter and I went with my future daughter in-law to look at wedding dresses. I thought I would post a couple of pictures. She looks so beautiful. Sad part of this whole wedding is that her parents are not participating in this precious time of their daughters life and after she decided to purchase this dress and only $250.00. The other dresses she tried on were like 500. - 600.

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.

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

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.

read180 by read180 09 May 2012

I feel very honored that she has asked me to make her wedding veil and all of the decorations.

christracey by christracey 09 May 2012

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.

The Wedding is July 13, 2013

christracey by christracey 03 Jun 2012

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.

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.

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.

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
