I'm thankful she's making most decisions on her own because I'm already kind of sick about talking about it, and they've only been engaged for two months. :0Tiffany Lowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743049863317194955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-88015972771846742332016-02-04T18:46:26.353-06:002016-02-04T18:46:26.353-06:00I try to have a mostly hands off approach, but I d...I try to have a mostly hands off approach, but I do have this habit of being honest when she asks my opinion. Sometimes that gets me in trouble, but sometimes she learns something she didn't know. Hopefully, it all evens out in the end, and she remembers my advice fondly in the long run.Tiffany Lowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743049863317194955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-50061535530780618352016-02-04T18:45:08.579-06:002016-02-04T18:45:08.579-06:00So true, so true - let's just say that "S...So true, so true - let's just say that "Say Yes to the Dress" has been showing up as my #1 Netflix recommendation for months, and I DON'T WATCH IT. hahaha!Tiffany Lowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743049863317194955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-66414127341601691952016-02-04T18:44:12.357-06:002016-02-04T18:44:12.357-06:00Totally agree!Totally agree!Tiffany Lowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743049863317194955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-75668924409503817402016-02-04T18:43:33.469-06:002016-02-04T18:43:33.469-06:00Yes, I can see the advantage of a courthouse weddi...Yes, I can see the advantage of a courthouse wedding in terms of cost and stress.

Both were paid for by them with except for the dresses which we purchased. Lots of decisions and panic from time to time, but in the end, they were married even though there were last minute snafu's and decisions on unexpected concerns. My attitude was the same as yours..."Its your wedding, what do you want to do?" I was secretly thrilled to be asked for advice, but careful what I offered and bit my tongue more than once with each of them. Overall, it was a lovely experience both the prep and the weddings and I am glad to have the pictures and the memories. Enjoy each and every moment of it.DKinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10048916083458709570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-85330408953152109232016-01-30T15:02:41.667-06:002016-01-30T15:02:41.667-06:00The marriage matters.

Seriously weddings in our culture have gotten ridiculously out of hand. <br /><br />I find myself becoming constantly more curmudgeonly re weddings. My oldest son is engaged and really I can't bring myself to be very interested in wedding planning details even though FDIL is obsessed LOL Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484164616513603484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-11939101337691349582016-01-27T22:35:48.947-06:002016-01-27T22:35:48.947-06:00Oooo that is lovely.

If you are paying, setting the budget and only offering advice is the route to take, trying to dictate specific decisions often backfires. Easy for me to say since my kid's weddings are still a way off, (I think).Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769556455551856486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723492686087062585.post-85185970558719999162016-01-27T12:26:39.450-06:002016-01-27T12:26:39.450-06:00She is getting married on my husband's bday.

I was just having a conversation with some young girls at my church about remembering what the day is about and it is not Pinterest and The Knot. I think my best friend would have shot the creator of those two websites if she had met them while planning my goddaughter's wedding! Seek the joy mom.
