With My Compliments
July 10th, 2008 @ 5:37 pm by Mrs. Tulip
One of the joys of a wedding day is that people tend to say very nice things to you.
My favorite wedding-day compliment was from some friends of Mr T, who accused us of ruining their drive home “because usually we amuse ourselves with an over/under on how long the marriage will last, and what will cause the break-up. But there’s just no point with you two.”
Wicked tradition? Yes. But it amused me, and the conclusion is pretty great if you think about it.
But make that my favorite compliment till now. Because my MOH recently emailed this story about her adorable little boy:
Yesterday J was playing with a toy tractor and I asked him where he was going.
He said, “I’m going to Baltimore to get married.”
To whom? I asked.
“To TARA!!!!!!!! She is a beautiful bride!!!!”
So Mr T is on notice. Just in case the first couple was wrong about our future, he has extra reason to be good to me — in 16-18 years, there will be a handsome young man waiting in the wings!
What are your favorite compliments, wedding-related or as a couple?

TOO CUTE!
Several months later, my boss’s 4 year old son was playing pretend and said “Mommy, will wear a white dress?” And she said “why a white dress?” Little boy “Because that’s what beautiful princesses wear, I saw one once.” His parent seemed to think he was talking about me, the only bride he’s ever seen.
My favorite comment actually happened a few days after the wedding. We were at a family bbq and our ring bearer (hubby’s cousin) tells me that my married person is in the pool. He then went outside and told my hubby that his married person was finally here.
That is ADORABLE! I love that he was playing with a tractor.

About Me: In all my dreams of the man I'd someday marry, I never pictured anyone as perfect for me as Mr. Tulip. So now we just have to make it through the craziness of the wedding and the moving in together! I love crafts, sewing, jewelry making, and photography, so am looking forward to this chance for DIY fun. When not wedding planning, I'm playing with our dog and 4 cats, Ebay shopping, or watching too much TV (often simultaneously!).
Your MOH’s little boy sounds like an awesome kid!
That is sooo freakin’ cute.
