At lunch today, a Knot-magazine carrying Leah announced to Laura and myself the colors for her wedding. Some kind of green. Some kind of off white, I think. Or maybe it was yellow or gold? But there's no forgetting PINK. Bridemaids dress - pink. A bouquet -- uh nosegay -- of pink flowers. God blessed me with a little girl nearly 24 years ago. And through all her various phases -- touch football with the boys and burping aloud (thank God she grew out of that) -- she has always loved the color pink. Pink Oshkosh outfits. Pink sneakers. Pink hair ribbons.
Never quite truly appreciated her passion for pink. I'm more a blue and green. It just goes to show you that Mother Nature trumps a tomboyish Mother of the Bride. After all this time, she's still such a girl. Now, a lovely young woman. And soon to be a Bride.
Stay tuned for more tales from the pink side. About 550 days to go until her wedding day!
