Elegant wedding invitations

Next month my dad is getting remarried.  He has been seeing this woman for about two years now since.  It took him about three years after my mother died to start looking for someone and I think that this woman is really right for him.  I have never seen him act so much like a teenager than when he is around this woman whom he just adores.  I just got their wedding invitations for my brother and I yesterday and I am going to call him tonight to say congratulations.  I can see that he has found a woman, like mom, who is really in to the finer things.  The wedding announcement says that their reception is being catered by the nicest restaurant in their town, and that everything is being taken care of by them, which is unusual for dad who likes to hold his money until it falls apart in his hands.  Even the elegant wedding invitations is printed in their own moniker wedding stationery.  I think that this woman is becoming just the perfect fit for my father and at the right time too.  He really needed emotional support and my brother and I couldn’t give it from across the continent, at least not enough for him to feel better.  So this woman has kind of been his savior because he was in a very bad place after mom died and she filled that void to an extent to where now they have decided to go permanent.  I know a lot of my friends whose parents went through the same thing and they never quite felt right about the new person.  They all felt a certain level of betrayal or like the person was just trying to hurt them. I don;t think I can feel that way about her because she is the best thing that has happened in my father’s life for a long time.  I have only met this lady one time, but judging by her style in choosing the wedding plans and everything right down to the wedding announcements and the stationery they are printed on.
