E and I just received a wonderful (and unexpected) gift from one of our (his) friends/family. :) I am nothing less than delighted!
You see, his friend is based overseas too and is not able to come to the wedding. She initially volunteered to shoulder the cost for our emcee (Darlene) and we were very happy about it. So while I was chatting with her earlier on FB, how I'm getting {etc} handmade goodness / Vatel to do my bouquet, how I was scared it might not turn out as beautiful and pretty as my earlier pegs. She assured me, it will be. Then she said it. She will add on to her gift and pay for {etc} for us. I was stunned, elated, and...happy! :)
It means a lot because we are being very prudent about our budget and costs for the wedding because no matter what, it's really just one day! So this early present for us is much appreciated.
Ahhhhhh!!! I can't contain it!
Thank you. I know you're reading this. You are blessed because you are generous not only to your family but also to your friends. :)
We are forever grateful. You may not be with us physically on our big day, but you are always in our prayers.
