The bracelet wrist corsage for Homecoming...light purple calla lilies to go with Guerin's school colors...very pretty! Matt wanted something "different and elegant" that would look like no one else's...I think he's on the right track. After the dance, the flowers come off and the bracelet is for her to keep and wear as a remembrance of her "first date."
Playing the part of a young gentleman, Matthew went first to Lauren's dad to ask him if it would be okay to ask Lauren to the homecoming dance. After getting permission, he then asked Lauren and she said, "Yes." Hip hip hooray as the old ego would not have fared well if the answer had been, "No thanks." Lauren is a friend of Matt's from the swim team, was also homeschooled until recently, and I have to say, a more beautiful girl, I cannot imagine. She can also swim circles around most everyone in sight. Beauty and talent...what else...well, she is incredibly nice and has a lovely personality. So, we have the date, we have the new clothes, we have the flower wrist corsage, we have wheels to the dance (parents driving to and fro), and hopefully all we need now is to have a very good time!
