She did not want the standard "wedding" pictures.

Here are a few.

Don't be sorry, you have a beautiful granddaughter and a very handsome couple they make. The first picture, that's what I call a leap of faith. Thanks for sharing, it's does one good to see that there's still a lot of happiness in this world of ours.

Martha, it all sounds wonderful. A happy partner, the large space for gardening, welcoming house...I hope you and your new DH have many happy years there. You've certainly had your hands full for December, either a wedding or a move this month would be a lot...and you've done both :) What a shame about the plumbing, sounds like you are dealing with the discovery with much grace. I hope you'll have photos to share with us - when the wall is sealed again, of the house and the garden , if not soon, this Spring when things begin to wake up... It sounds to me like an indoor kitty would fit right in to your household - you might consider one and give it access to your attic.

If you don't get much feedback from this forum, try the 'conversations' forum which is part of the Home Decor Forum. Doesn't have to be home decor related..........just a good bunch of folks to chat with over there. You could also try The Kitchen Table Forum. You've asked a good question and I'll be interested in the suggestions. I'm also a new grandmother and don't have a clue what to get DIL! Here is a link that might be useful: conversations......

One thing you wish you knew before you got married?
Q

Thanks! Good words of advice. halfdecaf - I love that you repeat your vows on your anniversary. That sounds like a very worthwhile tradition and one I might copy for us. I know the "good cop/bad cop" role is pretty tricky. It's not really how we intended it, but it's how I feel usually. My BF's own father abandoned the family when BF was at a very young age and his mother essentially detached from the family as a result of her husband leaving. As such, BF had no healthy parenting images to look up to so he leans toward parenting out of guilt or giving in too much to his own son. I come from a fairly strict, but caring, family so I've tried to share my own parenting examples with them. The result is that BF's son now has a normal bedtime (when we met he would let his son stay up until midnight! And he was 5!), he cleans up his own plate after dinner, he's not allowed to throw things or act physically in anger, he's not allowed to hit his dad or be disrespectful to us without consequences, etc. So I feel like the "bad cop" because I implement/encourage a lot of the discipline and a lot of the rules about what's acceptable and what's not. The only reason it's working is b/c BF currently backs me up on the decisions and is actually a little grateful that I know a little more than he does about general parenting, while he knows more than I do about his son's specific needs. So I think we make a good team. Of course, if either one of us ever stops supporting the other, I can see how that might cause some mutiny... We are also considering premarital couseling. One of my biggest challenges is learning to bite my tongue and not constantly tell him what to do. I was single for too long and have lots of rules in my own head about the way things "should" be done. On the flip side, he was single too long with a young son - essentially living the bachelor life with a kid tagging along (have you seen the Adam Sandler movie, Big Daddy - something along those lines, but not as extreme). So figuring out when my comments cross over into "nagging" seems to be a fine line. I never want to be the "nagging" wife.

Thanks, both of you. Wildchild, your son officiated at your daughter's wedding? That's fabulous! My husband's ex-wife (with whom I'm friendly--affectionate, even :-)) got to marry her granddaughter last year. I wasn't there, but I'm sure it was a very moving experience for all. I love the idea of the pirate party! We're anticipating a party this summer to celebrate the wedding. Since they live on a lake, summertime is party time. I doubt we'll be in costume, but as long as I don't have to wear a bathing suit, I'm fine. LOL My daughter tells me she had a photographer there (a "semi-pro," she said), so I hope to have pictures to share.

Thank you. I think she is beautiful, but I am a bit biased.
After 3 sons, she was my first grandchild. She is in the Oklahoma air national guard and is a chaplain's assistant and body guard. If they join the guard, the state pays 100% of their college. They both work full time and go to college full time.

Their photographer was wonderful. These pix were taken after they left the wedding. The place is Bricktown, In OK City,OK

The question burning in my mind is, did he make the leap across the pool?

Great, great pictures.

Beautiful bride and handsome groom. Congratulations.

You know, I guess he did. She did not mention it when she emailed those pictures.

Ahem......she looks just like her grandma...whaahahaha about 2 inches shorter and a 75 lbs lighter.

Thanks for letting me share.

Kathy,

Congrats to your granddaughter on her marriage, and may the happy couple have many wonderful and blessed years together!

I know you are very proud of her---isn't that what being a grandmomma is all about!! She's beautiful. Her job sounds quite interesting, too.

The wedding pix are BEAUTIFUL!!! I've never seen any like it before. Amazing! I wonder how they were done!?!

Thanks for sharing these happy pix, they made me smile.:)

Hugs, Becky

Congratulations, Kathy!! Your DGD is just lovely. Her pictures are so great. My DD is in the process of interviewing photographers right now so I sent her the link to these. She is not wanting the typical 'stand at the alter' pictures either. Thanks for sharing these, they're so fun!

Kathy,

Those lovely pictures put a smile on my face. Your granddaughter and her hubby seem to possess the most important thing for a happy marriage--a well-developed sense of humor.

Wishing them the best.

Beautiful photos!

I thought maybe that first picture was showing everyone she thinks "he can walk on water".... (okay, so I'm a little slow...)

Anyway, loved the fun loving pics

Thanks for looking. She has always thought she could do anything. When she was about five, she came running into the house and said, "I'm going to learn to play basketball"!. My first thought was oh no your not, as the net hangs over the street. But on second thought, I said, ok, let's go out there. Of course I was near her at all times.
At my 2nd son's wedding she came over to me and said, "Grammaw, no one will dance with me". She was 6 yrs old. A family friend got up and asked her to dance, she was so pleased.
And now she has her own dancing partner.

He is a nice young man. Last year when I was so sick, he was the one pushing the wheelchair in and out of the different doctors offices.

Thanks for the lovely comments and good wishes. When I saw her last weekend, I asked if he made the jump......dry. She said he did it about 3 times.
