Congratulations on your son's wedding!  Have a wonderful week!

 Thank you Laura.    Hope it all turns out OK.   They have some strange ideas but then....maybe I did too when I was 23 ( DIL ) and 29 (Son).   LOL   They are having wedding bands tattooed on their ring finger and marrying bare footed.    Also my son is wearing a suit he paid $300 for at Dillard's that was originally $2000.   with Bare feet !!!   Oh well...it could be worse.  Thanks for the Congrats and well wishes on the week.   It is going to be a busy one that is for sure,   You have a great week also.

Well, he won't be able to lose his ring.... and it's permanent!  Are they getting married on the beach?  I understand no shoes in sand.

On a similar note, my son is wearing an Indian Sherwani with coordinating shoes to prom next week.... his date opted for a saree instead of a dress.  I think it's kind of fun. 

 No..not on the beach but a church wedding.   LOL  I guess to each his own.    I personally hate tattoo's.    But I guess they like them.   My son is ex Navy and has about 14 tattoo's already.   This will be my DIL's first.    That is cool that your son and his date are wearing something different than everyone else to their prom.   Hope they have a great time.     

Guess my son and future DIL want to be comfortable.   I remember 34 yrs. ago when I got married all I could think about is my hurting feet and wanting to take off my shoes.   LOL   Guess they won't have that problem.   But I am trying to decide what shoes to wear to the wedding.   LOL   Guess I could do flip flops but that wouldn't look good with my dress.   LOL   Have a great day !!!
