My daughter is getting married next year. She and her partner invited me to meet with a potential photographer this past Sunday evening. We all liked her a lot and they are moving forward with a contract.
The focus is moving on to dresses. We're scheduled on the 20th and 27th to do some preliminary shopping. Today she's started IM'ing me on Facebook. She was looking at MOB stuff:
Her: so I'm looking at MOB dresses and you are not nearly old enough to wear any of these
(For the record I'm 48 and will be 49 at the time of the wedding next year.)
Me: LOL
Her: I feel like the only person I can realistically see wearing something like this is like >partner's name<'s grandmother
Then she started finding me some "perfect" choices:
Her: if you don't wear a fancy day-at-the-races hat I will be extremely disappointed
Next option:
'
Her: okay I really like the glitz and glam in the second one though. so if you could bedazzle the first outfit that would be great
Me: I'll get my bedazzler warmed up.
Her: If you show up in something like this, I may never speak to you again.
Her: my two rules are that you can't have too much skin showing (our bridesmaids have that rule too; no strapless gowns and likely long dresses) and you may not be more glitzy than me
Her: I shall be the glitz queen that day
Me: You spoil all my fun.
From there she went on to find some more reasonable options. Still, this was all tongue-n-cheek and she was cracking me up. I love this kid.

Your daughter has a lovely sense of humour.
