A Surprising Invitation

On Monday, we had a knock at our door. We opened it to discover our neighbor standing there. She handed us an envelope and said, "I'm here to invite you to my wedding." WHAT??!!! She's in her 60's, never been married, and we had NO idea there was a man in her life. She said she's only been engaged for a month and the wedding is in 3 weeks! She's marrying a man from down the street who's wife died and he has a big family. She wears dresses and her hair up in a bun, covered by a black cap and that's the kind of church she comes from, so we were very surprised and delighted to be invited! I'm planning to wear a nice sweater, a long black skirt, my hair up, and not a lot of jewelry and make-up. I just want to respect the way they do things and not draw a lot of attention to myself, although people will probably notice that we're "different" anyway. Maybe if I could find one of those black cap things...(hee hee) She said we don't need to RSVP as their weddings are fairly casual and there's just a light lunch after. Their weddings are part of their Sunday morning church service, so we get to experience a different kind of church service than what we're used to. We're very happy for her as she is such a nice, sweet lady and we'll miss not having her right next door, as she will be moving into his house. She said we could gladly bring our kids, but we're going to a hockey game the night before, so my parents are taking both kids for the night. That way we won't have to worry about attracting even more attention to ourselves during the service/wedding as Blake likes to walk around and make a lot of noise and Kiera likes to dance. We won't know anyone, except for our neighbor, so that's an uncomfortable thought for me, but it's good to get out of my comfort zone! Should be interesting!
