StaceyinLA Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 My 19yodd is marrying her Navy man and moving in about 2 weeks. We are throwing her a shower this Saturday. It feels so WEIRD to have a child getting MARRIED!!! She has been over there twice and had some second thoughts about living there, but she has realized that she really loves this little guy and wants to be with him, even if it means being away. She is planning to enroll in the Paul Mitchell school there. They visited it when she was there, and she LOVED it. I have finally seen some peace in this child, and am VERY happy about it.

I grew up a Navy Brat and I've been an Army wife for 14 years now. Tell her to get out, ASAP! It's very important that she not stay home and be miserable missing her family, especially if her dh is out on a deployment. Best wishes to her and her hubby!

Starr Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Stacey you always leave us breathless with excitement. Congratulations! Start saving for your vacation. I wish your daughter every happiness. And she's has something she is looking forward to as well as being married. That is exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyinLA Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Our lives have just been sheer insanity for, I'd say, the last 18 months for sure. This is actually a good thing (except her being so far away). It's finally something that'll bring me some peace for this child. She has had some struggles, but I have seen such positive changes in her since she's made this decision. One thing that's awesome is how well these two communicate. They have been friends for 6 years, and they talk about everything. They are young (21 and 19), but I really believe they can have a great marriage if they keep the lines of communication open. I'll try to keep the excitement coming (which I'm sure won't be a problem). :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyinLA Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I told her that. I mean sure, we love one another, but we really don't talk that much about things. They are already so far ahead of the game in that area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyinLA Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Since it's such short notice, I'm not sure just WHAT we will do about clothing. I don't even know for sure if dd will have a full-blown wedding dress. This is all happening pretty fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know for sure if dd will have a full-blown wedding dress. This is all happening pretty fast! If you have a David's Bridal or equivalent, they have plenty that works great for quick and on a budget ;) Congratulations :) Hubby and I dated for 4yrs before we married; we became each others best friend first...married for 16yrs in Aug. Also, I was an AF brat. Tell them to enjoy the ride, make the most of everything, and they will do fine. If they communicate well, that will help them through the tough spots.

Crimson Wife Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I was in the middle of planning a big church wedding when my then-fiance left to start his Army service obligation. After 3 weeks of being absolutely miserable without each other, I went to visit him for Thanksgiving. We decided then to get married at Christmas. I did not want to wear my fancy gown to the JOP so I found a super-cute lace cocktail dress at White House. My cousin found her wedding gown at J. Crew of all places.
