Need to buy a new Hat

[jackie j]

Last night a group of 18 of us went out for a meal, My four sons and partners, my daughter and partner, friends of my eldest son and my ex and partner. At the end of the meal my eldest son produced a birthday cake for his girlfriend, we all sang Happy Birthday and as she looked at it and what did it say....... WILL YOU MARRY ME she was totaly shocked. He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, I am so pleased and she said yes. She was crying so much, neither of her parents were able to come so she went to ring them and they already knew as my son had phoned her dad to ask him, more tears from her. I was crying as well.
I dont know when the wedding will be, as long as they give me time to save up lol.
I wish them both all the very best for the future, I never thought it would happen.

Lovely news, Jackie - and what a beautiful romantic gesture - and still thinking of everyone by phoning his future in-laws for permission. He's obvioiusly been brought up exceedingly well.

Lots of love and please pass on my best wishes and congratulations to the happy couple. x

Thanks everyone I couldn't be happier for both of them, she is a lovely girl. He has a son from a previous relationship and they get on really well, he asked her the other day if she and dad got married would she be his mum. lol, at the time of course she didnt know what my son was planning. She is 27 and he is 30. Just right these days. They have been together for four years.

Aw, what a lovely way to propose. Congratulations from me, too. Will the hat have numerous feathers?

[Comfreyfan]

That's really lovely JJ. Isn't it great to have something good to look forward to

(My youngest DD is getting married next spring - I hadn't even thought about a hat, finding an outfit is my idea of a nightmare!)
