Last Friday was a big day. It was a day that every girl dreams of. A day that Moms and Dads everywhere have mixed feelings about.
Headless Girl got engaged.
He took her for a breakfast picnic. Something he's done before, but this time he had friends 'lying in wait' for the big moment. Obviously, since there are pictures. She wasn't expecting it to happen on this day even though she knew it was coming 'soon'.
They have been dating for 6 years so even at the young age of 22 and 23 it was the obvious next step. They are both graduating from college next week and somewhere around the start of 2014 they will be married.
I, of course, loved the centerpieces. Who wouldn't love these roses? ;-)
Since they want to get married relatively quickly we're starting to look at locations this weekend if we can. It's exciting and scary and OMG HOW DID I GET OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A CHILD OLD ENOUGH TO GET MARRIED????????
So we are soon to be the parents of a married daughter. Any tips? Suggestions? Words of wisdom? Lay it on me. I have to be able to handle it. It's now or never!

Woooo!! Thanks for the party, Mom. I LOVED it!
Yay!!! Beautiful ring!
Patience is very important for wedding planning. And when you start crying while trying to decide whether the napkins should be teal blue or aquamarine, you need to remember to put things in perspective :)
I love the pictures!
I eloped :) so I have no advice, but what Sue said sounds exactly right!
Many blessings to you and HG. I love that HG happened to have a nice manicure for her surprise proposal. :)
Congratulations to all! Enjoy every moment of planning with your daughter.

You already have so much adult wisdom, so much maturity, so much common sense! Can't imagine that Headless girl could feel any more loved or supported by her great parents!! Ann W.
