MOB OM

Yes, that stands for Mother of the Bride once more! My DD's boyfriend drove down Sat. to have dinner with us, discussed marriage and showed us her ring. It is really beautiful and uniquely made for her. Plans are to marry in the fall next year. This is my baby, though I doubt she'd appreciate being referred to that way (my dad still called me baby at 30). They are so excited... DBF planned to ask later, but I guess he couldn't wait - he asked her today and managed to pull off the surprise. :)
At least I'm a little more experienced this go round - dang, I should be - we just finished two weddings in six months earlier this year (not that I'm complaining LOL) So here they are together at some point in time recently.....

Congratulations wonderful news, and hope you find a lovely MOB outfit!! I am in the same situation but it is my son who I never thought would get married so at 43 he's actually taking the plunge, so I am pleased and delighted that he is and Tracy is lovely young woman.
