No stealing of the bride.
Good idea really.No stealing of the bride.
Not me, my older daughter, the nurse. Wedding is in late May.
This is the first of our kids to get hitched. We are not really up on the expectations and protocols as the parents. In general, we figure they are adults and can do things however they want. Just tell us our role and we will do our part.
How is the interaction between the sets of in-laws typically handled? (us and the guy's parents). The 'kids' met as adults and his family is about 20 miles north of us (30-45 minutes in traffic).
Are you one of my cousins? I have 34...My Polish cousin did not take it well when his bride was stolen.Good idea really.
It didn't go over to well when my cousins took my wife. Let's just say it can lead to issues with the groom We did all kiss and makeup though after the fact...
Terrible and it’s making me mad just reading this, I agree with you on this 100%… it’s theirs day, let it be theirs… they are going tu ruins their day …very delicate situation i know you don’t want to cause friction before the wedding but it might be worth bringing your daughter aside and have a talk with her just to remind her that’s it is her day and not her future in-laws dayIt is not our rodeo, or theirs. I value my time and any 'decisions' will not require my input. I suggested that maybe my wife and his mom get coffee instead. I also feel like his parents are trying to force the kids into doing things their way using money to do so. They had them change from a Friday night to a Saturday. It was cheaper venues on Friday...said they would pay difference. Wanted an open bar...said they would pay difference. The list goes on....then, after the kids signed contracts they started the back tracking. Turns out they are not paying the difference.
I am not what people would call diplomatic. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Not likely I could have dinner with these people and not light into them. It would be in their home, so that would be rude. Better, to my way of thinking, that I just decline. I am really having a hard time seeing any value here. After the wedding, we are moving 2 hours away to our property. The way I see it, the only times I would ever see these people are for major events and then just in passing. (the rehearsal, the wedding, any future baptisms or, god forbid, funerals.). I can be cordial like I would with a business acquaintance. I would not seek them out because we are the 'old folks'. I am perfectly content to watch the youngsters in silence or to talk to my wife.
Could be.Are you one of my cousins? I have 34...My Polish cousin did not take it well when his bride was stolen.
Haha....To my knowledge, my only family in Texas is my wife and kids. Had a cousin live here a few years ago, but they went back up Nort'.Could be.
This sounds really stupid, but up until now, I never thought any Polacks lived in Texas (just dumb line of thinking on my end). I also don't mean "Polack" as a derogatory term and if taken as such, I apologize. Growing up I was called a Hunky at times, and never took offense. I guess those days are long gone.
Why do Polish people end their names in "ski"?He told the most Pollack jokes of anyone I ever met.
