Here we go again!

My son proposed to his girlfriend today, and she said yes.  They are talking about getting married in less than a year.  So, now I have to learn the balancing act of helping them when they ask for advice (since I've just accumulated all this knowledge of how to do weddings) and keeping my mouth firmly shut when they don't.  Wish me luck!

Re: Here we go again!

  • What an exciting time for you and your family!  Good luck on balancing the struggle to give advice and just watch as they make decisions.  Much happiness!!!
  • Welcome from a recent Mother of the Bride!!!  If you need to vent...feel free to give me a holler :)    Seriously though...I saw on the Knot how resentful some brides were and remembered how disinterested my mom was and determined to be different.  We sat down at the beginning and established the dollar limits, and after that I was loving, supportive, and accepting...and occasionally bit my tongue :)   Have FUN!!!!!
    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
  • Congrats! How exciting :). I'm sure you'll be a great MOG.
  • Good luck!  They'll cherish you wealth of knowledge :)
    Matt loves Munkii!!!
  • I'm totally jealous! I just helped one friend plan her wedding (a little, she was very disorganized, one of those "let's just relax and everything will just magically fall into place" kinda people. It didn't. LOL!). I miss the planning stuff, which is really funny since I had a TON of stress with mine.

    Anyway, have fun and congrats!
