: Easter surprise!
: newflvr April 17, 2006, 12:40:03 AM
My daughter got engaged!! YEA!!  She and her boyfriend, now fiance, have been together for a year and a half and they seemed to know early on that each other 'was the one'!  Wedding plans are pending, but it's just fun to share great news! ;D ;D

Thanks guys!  She has asked if the Newfs can be in the wedding.  Hopefully I'll get Chester trained to the cart....wouldn't it be grand for him to pull a cart pulled with flowers?  Or if she waits long enough, I'll be in the cart!!! :o :o :o

That is so neat to have the Newfs in the wedding!  They're so handsome, they'll fit right in.  Cowboy has his tux on all the time.  How fun!

Well, we have a year locked in!  Fall of 2007!  Now the hard part.  Selecting the place....and it has to be dog friendly!  That will be the REALLY hard thing! ::)

LOLOL I highly doubt that.  Congrats for you!  It's wonderful when you consider it 'good' news when your daughter wants to get married!
YAYAY

 It's wonderful when you consider it 'good' news when your daughter wants to get married!


At 28 years old (the groom will be 30 in the fall), it is a good age.  Call me old-fashioned (I am!) but I think many people are happier and more stable in a good marriage.  He's wonderful with her and fits in to the family well.  She adores his family so I think it's good on all sides.

And yeah, about the wedding planning thing:  we already had to clear the air about that.  I've told them that no matter what the books say, it's their wedding and they have to do what they want.  DH and I had ours and it was fine.  I can't think of anything much worse than me barging in there and taking over to do my 'dream' wedding.  Could be a nightmare for them!!!  So I'll be happy to listen to whining and complaining and will help when asked, but I'm planning on working with Chester and his cart training!!! ;D ;D ;D

Yay! You must be so excited. Sadie wants to know if she can be the "Flower Newf"? ;)
: Re: Easter surprise!
: newflvr April 17, 2006, 10:11:03 PM
OH, absolutely!  Sadie will have to be the flower Newf!  With Chester pulling the cart, Cowboy walking with me...we NEED a girl to be the flower Newf!! ;D ;D

Ok, just tell Cowboy and Chester not to fight over who gets to dance with her. There's enough Sadie to go around ;)

How does hubby feel about the news? Big brothers?

DH is thrilled!!!  Her fiance asked for her hand at Thanksgiving, so we knew it was coming, but he's everything you'd want for your daughter.  He also took the extra step in talking to all her brothers (she has 3 younger brothers...)and telling them his intentions.  He's a smart one!!!  The brothers all think he's the best.  It's all good.

Cowboy will get the first dance, cuz he's the oldest.  Chester will try to get all the rest because he's the feistiest!!!  Sadie better get her dancing paws polished up, because Chester is ready to ROCK!!!

Smart man getting the brothers approval first! Very smart! So happy for you guys!!! (Does he have a single brother on the east coast ;D)

Oh please! Sadie ALWAYS has her dancing paws polished. You never know when an opportunity might arise ;)

it has to be dog friendly

You could take a big limo to the Drive Up Wedding Window in Las Vegas.  ;) ;)

That's awesome news.  Next they'll be getting a Newf of their own and you'll be a fur-gramma!  How much fun will THAT be?!

: Re: Easter surprise!
: newflvr April 18, 2006, 05:33:05 AM
I have loads of ideas if she needs help with a fall theme wedding!   Wink

I'll let you know as soon as I am allowed to wade in! ;)  We're not to talk about plans, other than securing the location and date for 6 months!!! so they can 'enjoy' being engaged.   ::)

The Las Vegas idea will sound better and better, I'm sure, as the date gets closer.

And I must say, I'd rather have fur grands than the other kind.  I think I've changed enought dirty diapers, dealt with cranky kids and temper tantrums to last me a couple of life times.  Give me a puppy!!  I'd LOVE that!  I already have a grand-kitten; but out of wedlock!!!
