Daughters.

Thank you, yes we are very proud of their achievements. All my nagging seems to have paid off.

Such good news. Congratulations to them both. It’s turned into a good year for them both.

That's such good news for you and your OH. It's a special time for all the reasons you've outlined - Congratulations are in order!

Wonderful news - must be such a relief to know they are both settled and happy,though I guess you'll miss Victoria around the place ...
What does a garment technician do? It sounds very interesting. Is it to do with pattern cutting? I remember how excited got when I learned how to move the shaping from one seam to another...such a long time ago!

Lots of interesting work will be coming your way with two weddings , but at least the hat problem won't be a worry...
Congratulations to all concerned!

What a lovely cheerful blog - good luck to your girls for their futures.

That’s really lovely to hear Eileen … you have put a smile on my face 🙂. Congratulations to you all for such happy news!

Thank you for all the congratulations, I will pass it on.

No dates have been set yet and I doubt that they will be in the very near future. Both girls are adamant that they want to pay towards the cost of their weddings.

Yorks a garment technician checks that the garment is made correctly, sizing is correct to international standards, fabrics are as stated on the label and if needed may have to adapt the pattern if it does not fit the standard Dress form [dummy] so yes pattern cutting. Luckily Elizabeth got a first on all her pattern cutting assignments at uni. {she was at Newport S Wales and lived in Caerleon so both girls have a S Wales link}

Fantastic news, Eileen! A big congratulations to Elizabeth and Matthew!!! Lovely to hear! You’ll have empty nest syndrome soon! Thank goodness you can both get out on the bikes, plus the bonus is OH should be happy that he won’t have to sell any of his well loved motorcycles! 😊👰🏻🤵🏻

Congratulations to your girls, lovely news :-)

Lovely news for you and your family. Next year one of my granddaughters is getting married in July . This has all been planned and every thing has been booked.
Katy her eldest sister has also got a lovely new boyfriend so there is talk about a second wedding.

I m really proud of both of them.

What wonderful news SBG, you must be so proud and happy for your girls.
It's nice read some 'up beat' news for a change after all the gloom we've all had the past 18mnths.
Congratulations to you, your husband and of course the girls!

Congratulation to you and your girls. You must be so proud of their achievements.

lovely news congratulations

Happy, happy blog, isn't it lovely to find two couples that want to marry! I was beginning to believe that marriage was a dying thing, but you have obviously brought them up to believe it is worthwhile - good for you, may they have loads of happiness.
And why not a hat? I think it's a shame that men and women stopped wearing hats, a bloke in a Trilby and a woman with a dainty hat!

Wonderful news Eileen. I"m so happy for you and your daughters. How nice to hear good news for a change. Congratulations and the best of fortunes to you and family.

Congratulations for the two happy couples! Some good news for their parents as well! May they live happily ever after! 😃

Thank you for all your warm wishes.

I hate hats, always have done and not that keen on hoods either. Good job I have a good head of hair to help me keep warm.
Not having to wear a hat is such a relief. I didn't have a veil and so far nor does Victoria. Not sure what Elizabeth's style is going to be.

Sbg, our daughter has a colleague who was due to get married last Boxing Day but Covid restrictions put paid to that. She finally got wed a few weeks ago and had hired her wedding dress, rather like hiring a Prom dress, as she and her now husband wanted to put the money she would have spent on a wedding dress towards refurbishing their house!

Many congratulations to both your Daughters,Eileen,you and your OH must be so proud,especially as you approve of their choices of Husbands to be too ..always a good sign :o)
I'm with you on the hats,as they just don't look right on me, so I wouldn't wear one either ! :o)
So pleased to hear both Elizabeth and Victoria have a happy future ahead of them, and are able to follow their dreams,re their careers :o)

Congratulations to both your girls, I wish them every success in their chosen careers and hope all goes well with their plans for their big days.. I wouldn't wear a hat either , lol...

Agree about not wearing hats. I wore a fascinator for our son’s wedding (in Australia) but it was such a windy day that it flopped down one side of my head!

Thank you for sharing your happy news. I hope they will be very happy & also continue with their careers.

Congratulations to both your daughters on their achievements and engagements. You must be feeling very proud :)

Lovely blog congratulations to your girls and enjoy being mother if the bride twice 🥂🙂

Hi Eileen, speaking of hats, have you seen my blog called "Flying Hats"? It's one of my first blogs. A hat defines a person's character and can say much about you. They aren't just a fashion accessory. I don't care for hats either. They make my head hot, but I'll wear one if the occasion calls for it.
