Wow...what a weekend! We went to Columbus to visit my sister and her family. The boys had a great time...fishing, tubing, playing. I however had a great time also but it was one of those "snap you back to reality" days. If you know me, you know I like to live in my own little world...known as "Lori's world". It a place where I never age but everyone else does. I suppose most of you live in your own world sometimes too. Well...I sure did have a dose of the "real world time" this weekend.
My absolutely beautiful niece is engaged and will get married next year, so we went wedding dress shopping with her. I didn't think much about it except for the excitement. As she chose dresses to try on...we sat waiting for her to come out and model the gowns. The door opens and there she is...a vision of beauty. It seems like a beautiful dress, we all comment on it and then they put a veil on her! That's it...I lost it...here come the tears! I guess it just seemed like a prom dress fitting until the veil. The flashbacks started...here is this beautiful woman who I see as my flower girl. My brain is racing...how could this be? Oh yeah...it's real world time. So now they are laughing at me...my sister is taking pictures of me crying and the bridal consultant is bringing ME a box of tissues. We all shared a laugh and continued watching her try on gowns.
The best part...she found "the gown" while we were with her. When she walked out with it on...I knew then that that was the one. What an exciting time! I only wish her the best that life has to offer. She will always be my little flower girl.
