EXCERPT...
Introduction Congratulations! You’re about to give birth again, this time to a wedding! As a parent, your life is about to change, and this will have far-reaching effects. Who could guess the spark of a tiny diamond would have the power to ignite the flurry of activities and emotions following the engagement of a daughter or son? Gaining a new family member can be as excruciating as childbirth and, ultimately, as rewarding. As mother of the bride, you’re fully involved in all the excitement, aggravations, and sentiments befitting your position. You’re consulted; you play a significant role in the big event. Your schedule is plumped with a potpourri of decisions, new relationships, and a tumult of emotions. You run inane errands, clutter your home with piles of useless information, and spend an inordinate amount of time on the phone and on e-mail dealing with minutiae. You are a queen bee, your hive abuzz with activity. Then comes your son’s wedding, and the entire process seems almost anticlimactic. While his wedding is every bit as important to you as your daughter’s, what looms forefront in your mind is where do I fit in? When dealing with a son’s marriage, a mother’s role is more supportive than active. Understanding that you are needed just as much, but in a different way, is paramount. WANT TO READ MORE?
