MY HUSBAND CROCHETED ME A WEDDING DRESS!

Today is special—it’s my 70th birthday and my 47th wedding anniversary. Over the years, my husband has always found unique ways to show his love, but this time he truly outdid himself.

Lately, he’d been spending hours secretly working on something, and I had no idea what he was up to. As it turns out, he was crocheting a surprise for my milestone birthday—a wedding dress! I can’t imagine how much time and effort went into this labor of love.

On this day, surrounded by family, we renewed our vows. It felt like we were back where we started, with even more love and memories. But not everyone shared our joy. My brother’s wife didn’t like my dress and said it was inappropriate. Her words stung, but my children, especially my son, quickly defended me, reminding her that love has no age limit.

Still, her words linger. Do you think it’s okay to wear a crochet wedding dress at 70, or should I have chosen something more “appropriate”?
