Le gusta el verde

At the end of Charlene and Tommy’s packed vacation to Europe, we spent one day in the large cosmopolitan city of Madrid. We thought we'd just wander around the city and see some sights; none of us expected Charlene to find her mother-of-the-bride dress that day!

We’d walked just a block or two from our hotel that morning when we were lured into a bridal boutique by the beautiful store display windows. Little did we know that it was the classiest bridal boutique in Madrid! This place has their own catalogue, they do custom-made gowns and they have little heart-shaped candies in the candy dish. Everyone who helped us there was so sweet; they gave Charlene earrings and a pin as a gift! Charlene let Brad be her translator and, by the end of the morning, she had placed an order for her dress – how exciting!

We spent the rest of our day celebrating the purchase and eating Madrid cuisine. For supper, we went to Casa Mingo, a famous cider house in Madrid. A great end to an incredible trip. Charlene and Tommy, we had a blast with y’all – thanks for everything!
