Thanks all. He has a good job, but has bills. We want to help so Jumper can get what she wants and the payments will be lower. He really feels funny accepting anything though so we shall see.
We did go looking for rings today and Jumper likes white gold, favors emeralds and loves unique. She picked out a few rings that looked great on her finger...the white gold had some rose mixed in?? It and it matched her skin tone perfectly. She has beautiful caramel skin.
This is the story. I will call boyfriend Jim. Jim wants her to pick out three rings she likes and he will pick from them and propose to her at some future date...and in his own way. She has no idea what he has up his sleeve for that. Jumper's only request is that Jim ask her dad for permission to marry her...lol. She is very close to her dad and although she knows we both like Jim and Dad will say yes (and that this is not the custom anymore), SHE wants him to do it for her. I think its sweet.
So thats the deal. All the friends they hang with are getting married or engaged and she has gone to some weddings to get ideas. Although she doesnt want a very fancy or traditional wedding, she does want a professional photographer, a DJ, and real flowers at least for the folks in the wedding party. On the other hand she thinks cupcakes may be cool and wants her sister to bake them for her...Princess is a yummy pastry chef who can bake magically.
There will be no wedding until Jumper graduates from the police academy in 2018.
I had a lot of fun with Jumper. My other daughter has never married her boyfriend. So this is my first time. And Jumper is always great to hang out with.
