He popped the question and she said, YES!
2011 is going to be a great year! Our family is looking forward to so many exciting things. One of the most exciting is a wedding!
My oldest daughter, Courtney, is engaged! So as we start making wedding plans, I want to show you her first project...the creative and fun way Courtney asked her friends to be bridesmaids!
Five years ago, when Kaleigh, our second daughter (and soon-to-be Maid of Honor) was a senior in high school, she played Babette, the Feather Duster, in her High School's production of "Beauty and the Beast".
Lori as the Witch, Westin as a silly girl, Megan as Belle and Kaleigh as Babette.
These girls have been close friends since 7th grade!
Courtney made her a "bouquet" for opening night out of a big feather duster, flowers and ribbons. She took this idea and created a wedding "bouquet" for each of her 11 attendants (Yes, ELEVEN!) 9 Bridesmaids and 2 Jr. Bridesmaids.
Using ribbon, tulle, burlap, silk flowers and 11-$.97 white feather dusters from Wal-mart, she created a unique bouquet for each girl.
She attached a card to the bouquet asking the question...
"Maid?"..."Jr. Maid?" and...
"MOH"... "MOH" ??? (Translation: Maid of Honor) She ran out of letters and question marks! But, hey, this one was for her sister so it's ok!
Didn't they turn out cute? Courtney said she may have the girls use these for practice during the rehearsal. Very creative and unique! Just like my sweet girl!
Where DID the time go? And...How can I be
old enough to have a daughter getting married?
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NIV
Just to put things in perspective!
Have a Wonderfully Blessed Day!
