“My Dad is here with me”
Bianca lost her father about six years ago to cancer and when I was prepping her for hair and makeup, that s when Bianca said those 6 words. Dad was in the form of a yellow and black butterfly hovering among the plants in the garden.
She and I almost teared up. True enough, the yellow butterfly was hovering until I finished her getting prepped.
I said, “Bianca your dad approves of Joe.” Right away Bianca nodded and said her dad appeared in her dream and is really happy it’s Joe for her.
Bianca and Joe met at a Coachella concert but they went on separate groups but they shared similar friends. Based on the best man s speech that night, it was Joe that fell head over heels the moment he met her.
I ve spent a little time with the couple before their December wedding over a beach weekend and you know when they re the right fit. From what I gathered is that they seem to have a good head on their shoulders, Bianca just finished her MA in Education and Joe has his sights on the family business.
They described their wedding plans and I must say it is so appropriate and fitting to the present times. S I M P L E not complicated is how they want their special day to be. They dispensed with the unnecessary frivolities when it comes to the wedding preparations. The only difficult task was trimming the guest list since both come from big families.
Bianca the ever practical lady, said she didn’t want a big fuss and didn’t need the special treatment since she preferred to spend it on their new home and Joe has plans of taking his Masters abroad.
There are so many positive things going on for this couple and they seem to be the perfect couple.
Your Dad was right Bianca, Joe is the perfect man for you. You chose well.
