Today, I received an email that I won my very own pair!<\/p>\n<p>I requested them in cream pearls to match the pearls I am wearing in my wedding. My mother&#8217;s and my pearls. Mom was given a long strand of graduated size pearls for her high school graduation and passed them to me when I graduated from her alma mater 28 years later. She received a shorter strand of pearls with an amazing clasp for her college graduation 4 years later.<\/p>\n<p>My plan is to wear both strands to our wedding in ONE MONTH from today. Holy smokes, how is it already 9-10-10?! Since my parents or grandparents will not be attending, this is how I will have them there with me on my wedding day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/fletcherfam.com\/bb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/pearls.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"pearls\" src=\"http:\/\/fletcherfam.com\/bb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/pearls-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/beccablogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/pearls-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/beccablogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/pearls.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><em>Try to ignore the trademark side smile on my face.
