Growing up, one Easter when I was about five, my mom and dad bought me lace gloves to wear with my frilly pink Easter dress. Dad even bought me a corsage for my wrist. They were white and dainty and had lace around the wrist. I remember how pretty I felt wearing them, and when Yohan and I decided to get married I knew I wanted to wear little lace gloves.
The Saturday before Mother's Day, I tried on my dress for mine and Yohan's mothers while they were visiting. After putting on my dress, I pulled out the lace gloves I'd bought on ebay for about $10 to show them. I pulled the gloves on and proudly displayed my carefully picked outfit for the moms. Then Yohan's mom exclaimed, "Oh no, you will wear my gloves. I wore gloves like that for my wedding, and I've been saving them to give to Yohan's wife to wear." I couldn't believe it!
At first I was unsure of keeping the gloves his mother had so beautifully saved, but they were perfect. They fit my hand to the 'T', and I felt so special wearing something passed down from her. Maybe one day, if my daughter or daughter-in-law decides that dainty wrist gloves would go perfect with her wedding gown, I'll pull out those special gloves and give them to her.
You were absolutely gorgeous on our day baby, wouldn't have changed a thing babe!
