blessed, was there ever a tree there before? Sometimes it helps to use the language, "replace" a tree.
Ramblin', so happy for your dniece and her aunt!
June 8, the exact 50th anniversary of my first wedding to my late dh, is dd's day. They were at first trying for a May date, so I didn't think of this connection at all. Then they were saying, by mistake, June 6 had an opening at this venue, so again, I didn't connect. By the time they were under contract for June 8, it was a little late to tell them! But, really, what a happy marriage ours was, and therefore a great date to recommend.
The young man is reassured because I can tell them that a half-century ago on that day the weather was sunny and clear, lol. (He says that he's looked it up and there is often rain on that date since then, with high humidity!) If it's clear, they will be married outdoors, and the reception held inside the venue. If raining, there's a plan for an all-indoor wedding and reception, so "insurance". If their outdoor photos are rained out, ds and I have decided we're putting her back into her wedding dress on a sunny day later and taking her back over there for all the photo ops she will have missed! He takes his children there often to feed the farm animals and says he doesn't mind taking a sister in a long flowing white gown - as you do, lol.
You and Twins' will be interested to know that dd will be married on the grounds of her great-great (I'm not sure, but more greats - I must look it up again) grandparents' farm, now turned into a history center. I know a few of the more obscure spots there that meant something to my parents from when I was a child. My maternal side is more kin, my paternal side closer neighbors over the years, all friends. It was like a homeplace of spinster/bachelor kin from my point of view then, and then I learned various ones had double-dated with my parents.
Getting long winded, am I not? More like myself? Hmmm ... ..
