I have the unique position of being a mom to adults, teens, a tweener, school aged, and one about to exit the preschool age...along with being a grandmother. One minute I may be playing dolls, or admiring lego creations, the next I am putting my grandson down for a nap, and then the next....helping to plan a wedding. Yes, a wedding. So it seems that the doll days are very much done for some of my girls...ok, most of them! And now we have a room full of talk and excitement about colors, food, and guest list. Phew!
Don't worry, there is no date yet, nor has there actually be a proposal! I know, I know, you are probably thinking then why are we planning for a wedding. Well, the plan is that once there is a proposal that the wedding should take place no longer than about 3 months later. I don't make the rules! Just gotta follow them :-)
And so it is, that there are now Pinterest boards to be scoured, food choices to decide, photographer to be sourced, flowers, venue, and so on and so forth. All done between younger children yelling and running. Teens that need the latest kpop album. And lets not forget to keep an eye on any little tidbit of crumb or paper on the floor....because if we don't the baby will!
I had the privilege of doing a photoshoot of the said couple. It's funny to think that I remember first meeting him, as Merida, who was not 18 months old at the time, took an immediate liking to him. She didn't go to just anyone! We actually took a picture of her sitting on his lap because it was such an astonishing sight.
Moira and Adam's relationship has not been picture perfect (though, whose is?). But this has given them time to dig in deep and learn. I can honestly say they are much better prepared for marriage than I was. They strive to put Christ as the center, and all decisions based on the Word of God.
I might not have any details to give, but I do have pictures!
