But not everyone was thrilled. Marcia, my brother’s wife, scoffed at the idea. “A crochet wedding dress at 70? It’s… inappropriate. Shouldn’t you wear something more dignified?”
Her words stung, but before I could respond, my son spoke up. “Mom’s dress isn’t just a dress. It’s a symbol of love, patience, and everything my parents have built. If you can’t see the beauty in that, I don’t know what to say.”
His support warmed my heart, and the love of my family reminded me that what truly matters is the meaning behind the gesture, not what others think.
