My daughter had to call off an engagement and wedding.  She had good reasons but……

Now, we are in the new normal.  It wasn’t what we thought life would be now.

Here are some words that we dread hearing and things we dread seeing:

The movie “Bridesmaids”

wedding ads

shows that have people buying wedding dresses in them

ring commercials

Bridal stores

”Are you a grandmother 👵 yet?”

young couples with babies 👶

🤵  👰 wedding registry signs in stores

”his” name (a popular one by the way)

pregnant 🤰 women

young couples shopping for household items and groceries

grandmother shirts 👚

items in stores that “he” or his relatives would or liked for gifts 🎁

Wedding

bride

Groom

photographer

cake

Ceremony

pigs (the kitchen theme she wanted)

Guests

bridal shower

I miss the good version we saw at first of him.

Thanks for reading!
