Miss SOS (Save Our Sanity)Dear Miss SOS: Miss SOS is uncertain what you want her to comment upon. If it’s not marrying when you’re unsure of your feelings, then by all means hold off. However, if it’s because you don’t want a long-term commitment but still want a baby, all Miss SOS can ask is “What are you thinking? Having a child is one of the longest-term commitments that you can enter into with a partner. By Miss SOS calculations, it’s 18 years minimum and up. Dear Miss SOS: After three failed marriages, I finally met my Mr. Right a few months ago and we’ve decided to get married late summer. To say my parents are less than thrilled would be an understatement. They have only given me $500 as a gift to plan this wedding and my feelings are hurt. Am I being petty or are my parents? Though customary for the Bride’s parents to host their daughter’s first wedding, they are not obligated to pay for her future weddings that may occur down the road. All second-time Brides (or third, or fourth, etc.) are expected to pay their own expenses.
My son is Caucasian, engaged to a woman from China. As the Groom’s parents, I know that I am to initiate contact and write a letter to her parents now that they are engaged. Do you have any suggestions for content? A short, heartfelt, hand written letter is a perfectly lovely way to introduce yourself to your future daughter-in-law's parents. Are her parents bilingual? If her parents do not speak English or have difficulty with the language, ask your son's fiancée if she can help you by writing out your feelings in Chinese. Whatever the language, share the joy of your children's love. Miss SOS recommends that you express your congratulations, letting them know how happy you are that your son has found someone like their daughter to share his life with, and that you are looking forward to welcoming their daughter into your family. If it is possible, arrange for a time to meet face to face.
