Future DIL’s parents will not be attending the wedding. Her (lovely) grandparents have acted in that role most of her life, so her grandma will be MOB (thus my GMOB reference above). I joked to DH before we met them last year that they might be younger than we are as we’re 40 years older than the bride and groom. Happily, that was not the case, but we’re definitely contemporaries. DIL considers me and gram to be her maternal bookends and wants us to be in the same color, so gram picked a dress similar to mine (in navy):
I’ve had so much fun texting her about the wedding, exchanging pictures, and sharing bits about the couple. They are definitely a delightful addition to the family.
(I turned DIL on to JJs House. All the bridesmaids are ordering from there, too. They can pick any floor-length dress they want, they just need to be the same shade of minty green.)
