Plus writing quite a few checks............
But she is worth it! Plus it will be n+1 all over again in August for my oldest daughter.
I'm sure it invokes memories for many of you. My Son in Law has already mentioned something about mountain bikes.......
I got my wish from a month+ ago in being able to walk down the aisle without limping, too.

It's obvious that the young lady got her looks from her mother, enjoy one of the longest walks on Earth, remember the first time you held her, now it will be some other guy's job to take care of her and you just get to worry he's doing a proper job. Congratulations to all of you.

Good decision!
At some point in time she's the one who will be selecting your nursing home so try not to upset her.
As for "one of the longest walks on earth," I've done it 3 times and they all seemed way too short to me.

Congratulations Joe! So glad your health recovered in time for this special day.
Sounds like you won't buying any new bikes this year.

Best wishes to all of you! Nice photo too. She looks just like you hope a bride will look. Maybe even a little better!

Congratulations; Makes Me Tear Up
That's delightful! Congratulations.
I have two daughters: 21 and 18 yrs old. I can't imagine what that will be like. I'm dreading it, because I won't be able to hold back the tears myself. I love them both so much, and want them to have their own families, obviously. But the entire thought is overwhelming for me...
