GOOD NEWS!

April 14, 2017 132 Comments

 

NO it is GREAT NEWS…………………

 

THIS POST is MORE for my FAMILY and CLOSE FRIENDS but if you follow me it might put a smile on your face as well.

MY SON KRISTOPHER  proposed to his girlfriend of almost two years……….two days ago in the SAN DIEGO BAY!They have purchased a sailboat and plan to live on THAT whilst HE makes his tables in an old shipyard and SHE makes ONE OF A KIND JEWELRY!

I was IN THE KNOW A BIT as I got to pick up the ring from the jeweler where it needed to be sized.

A TEXT CAME IN ON APRIL 5th,”Molly came with me to work today,can’t get rid of her.Any chance you can swing by the jeweler and get the ring?”

SO, I did feel apart of THE OPERATION just a wee bit!

I did know the DAY was CLOSE………

I did know MY SON drove to SAN FRANCISCO to ask for her hand from HER FATHER.

I DID KNOW FROM THE GET GO SHE WAS PERFECT FOR HIM!

The boat needed to be relocated a 13 hour journey from LONG BEACH to SAN DIEGO.

Needless, to say, I did not make that JOURNEY, but my HUSBAND and my other SON did!

THANK GOODNESS they DID and we have NICHOLAS TO THANK for the PHOTOS………….

AS he spied his BROTHER with the little red box in his pocket.

Having NO PHONE on HIM and looking about at the CROWD on board NO ONE WAS LOOKING THEIR WAY!

SO, what does he do………….MY YOUNGEST NICHOLAS?

He grabs MOLLY’s phone to take a photo of her at THE HELM.

This is what HE CAPTURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

NOTE KRISTOPHER is on ONE KNEE!

Look at the SPARKLES in THE BAY for their ENTRANCE!!!!!!!

THIS IS BLISS!

I am SO PROUD Of MY SON.

AS I STATED on INSTAGRAM

I GOT MY GIRL!!!!

F I N A L L Y.

THRILLED TO HAVE MOLLY APART of OUR FAMILY.

YES, HE IS ON HIS KNEE!

YES,HE ASKED HER FATHER FIRST!

THIS MAMA is VERY EXCITED!!!

I JUST HAD TO SHARE

THE JOY.

XOXOXOXO

    My dear cousin Elizabeth! How very wonderful! I am not surprised that they will be living on the sea, since our 4th great grandfather, Christopher Greene, made his living by trading and traveling on the sea. It’s in the blood (except for you, my dear). Beautiful that he asked her father (love all things “old fashioned”) and got down on one knee to propose – as it should be. And how quick thinking of Nicholas to capture the moment! Fine young men you and GP have raised, my dear – very fine. Molly will be a lovely addition to the family and I need to get off my posterior and come out to visit! I will call you very soon — congratulations to all!

    Dearest Contessa, Mother of the Groom territory is not quite as much fun as Mother of the Bride. When my son got married I was relegated to making ties for the groom’s men to match the bride’s maid dresses. We wanted to do SOMETHING a little more memorable! So, we hosted a Wedding Brunch for the wedding party and family (about 40 people). They were married in La Jolla so we chose a lovely little restaurant atop a skyscraper in La Jolla. Because the restaurant is small and not normally open that early in the day, we had it all to ourselves – very cozy! The view of the La Jolla Cove was spectacular. And, I know YOU know that view!

    As Mother of the Groom, there is not much “officially” for you to do so you may have to find creative ways to be involved in the wedding. Who better to be creative!

    Hugs, Carol

I knew that they were meant for each other..the first time he came to the Murphy family Christmas and I thought, “Who is Molly’s new boyfriend, he sure is navigating the Murphy crowd like a pro”. Then it all came back. Like yesterday, except fast forward and I am old and they are in love.

    I love them!! Can’t wait to see you again soon!!

    How thrilled you all must be! What absolutely wonderful news. Congratulations to the really Happy Couple – they make a real-life Prince and Princess and I wish them, and their families more love, laughter and great times for the rest of their lives. And this all at Eastertime too! Happy Easter to you all.

      Sorry, that’s “blog.” The auto-correct kicked in before I noticed–no Freudian meanings intended!

    I live on the other side of the world and am a total stranger but had tears of joy when I read your post. With all the negative news of late this is so so uplifting and confirms how indomitable true and pure love really is. The fact your son did everything so well and thoughtfully in preparation and on the day is a testament to his upbringing. Congratulations to all of you. xx
