My sweet son has been happily married now for 5yrs. His wife is a doll. I was and am very happy for them both. They just moved into their own home last week!

My son got married on April 20th. For months I was filled with dread and certain he was making a horrible mistake. The night before the wedding he stayed with us and I saw how hard it was for him to be away from his fiancee all day and my heart began to turn. On the day of the wedding, it was so clear that they loved each other so much and then my heart was filled with joy for both of them. After all, love is what it's all about, isn't it?

I have two sons , the oldest unmarried and the youngest due to get married in a 3 day wedding in July , he is a bit of an interlectual snob , a bit like his mother lol , but the wife to be balances that out by being emotionally more evolved, they have been together for 7 years already and this attraction of opposites has been a dream coupling , I couldn't ask for a better DIL

Sounds like my experience. We've had number 52. They had 6. They were late twenties also. Age doesn't ensure wisdom does it? Pray hard!

I felt just fine for each of my daughters and sons marriages. Who they married was their choice. My job was to support their choice and to support them if things didn't work out. Not all marriages turned out. They were not mistakes they were life learning experiences. I have to say I now have a DIL who is my BFF/DIL.

Have you ever heard the saying:

A daughter is a daughter all her life,
A son is a son 'till he takes a wife.

Can't say I understand the full meaning.

My oldest son, 26 just got married last month. I did find myself on the edge of a panic attack for several days--not because of the marriage but because of the coordinating of people coming from out of town and getting them from the airport to where we would be staying, etc. Also I had some responsibilities with decorating and such. In the end, everyone was very helpful and the wedding was such fun. I relaxed and would do it all again if needed. I have another son, 23, so I probably will do it again in the next few years, but hopefully I will be more relaxed about it!!! Of course it helps that we love our new daughter-in-law and they are very good together!

Not losing a son, but gaining a closet!

Our son and DIL (and her dghter) were together at least 5 yrs b4 he proposed. We had plenty of time to get to know her and love her. They bring out the best in ea other. He gives structure to her life and she'd taught him to mellow out allttle. There's an age difference. She has sons less than 10 yrs younger than our son and everyone gets along quite well. Her joining our family has been a blessing for all of us!
