Below are some photos that were taken at her youngest daughters' wedding, this past July 3rd. For reference: the bride is Donna and the groom is Doug. Antoinette's husband is Bob, her eldest daughter and Maid of Honor is Gina, Gina's husband is Brian, and let us not forget Marty, the dog. :)
A handsome family they do make.
An exciting time between Mother and daughters!
A beautiful day for a lovely bride and her family!

Celebrating July 4th with the Newlyweds!
It is an absolute pleasure to share these joyous moments with Antoinette. We are always happy for each other when all is bright. We are also there for each other when dark clouds roll in. She has good judgment and insight of knowing what to say and when to say it.
Her generosity of heart can fill a house, and she gives of herself everyday with her bright smile and twinkling blue eyes. I love her, as do many people.
Antoinette carries the legacy of her Father with her, as I do with my Dad, and we share this wonderful commonality. The photos I have seen of her Dad makes me think I missed out knowing him. However, through Antoinette, I do know him, and that makes me glad. She tells wonderful stories about a great man, and it's always with a smile and a slight tear.
Am I confident we will continue to grow together as we embrace the years to come? You can count on it. Friendship is inmeasureable!
Thank you for sharing that. What a lovely family they are. Finding a special friend is a gift. One that knows you...and still loves you. A very heart-warming post here. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteA very heartfelt post for your friend. They are a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI never will forget when I was 18 a older gent once told me, if you are able to find one true friend you are lucky, if you find more than one you are blessed. His words are always near even after all of these years.
Have a golden day! xoxo
Antoinette has a beautiful family and you have found a wonderful friend. It is so important not to take friendships for granted...good ones are rare.
ReplyDeleteFriends are like priceless jewels!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to have them in your life. They too must feel equally blessed by your friendship!

Beautiful photos and sentiments.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so important for women to have good women friends. We bond in ways akin to sisters.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds lovely and her smile is luminous.
What a lovely, kind post you wrote and yes listening is key, so good you have that gift, x
Beautiful photos. Your friendship sounds lovely, much like the one I share with my special friend Deb. I know that we will someday celebrate at the marriages of each other's children; we each have both one beautiful daughter and one beautiful son. These friendships are so nourishing...in fact, she once gave me a card that showed two pretty ladies from the late 50s or early 60s eating a huge bowl of spaghetti; inside it said "Our friendship nourishes my soul..." So true. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFriends are the glue of life, they keep it all together..no matter the weather.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that Antoinette had a beautiful day for her wedding, and what a beautiful family!
