[QUOTE="DDD, post: 420928, member: 35"] It's an uncomfortable position to be in...I know from exprience. None of our girls married young men with close family. When my easy child son got married we gave the rehearsal dinner, attended the wedding and church reception and felt very much like guests. Lordy, was I glad when it was over. We did issue a verbal invitation to everyone at the end of the reception that everyone who didn't have to go out of town was welcome at our home. At that time we had a large place and were may ten bocks from the church. It worked out ok and many people we didn't know showed up. Do you have any special talent that you could volunteer to use in the wedding prep? by the way, I don't, lol. I have known future mother in law's who have offered to write place cards because they had beautiful handwriting, others who have offered to sew or help with one aspect of the decorations, and others who did "pick ups" prior to the wedding when the couple was busy. Make phone calls? I understand your feelings. I'm sure that they don't have any idea how you feel. Losing a easy child son is often painful. Believe me my son and I were tight as ticks. When we are together we quickly reestabish the bond [B]but [/B]in truth we don't see each other more than once or twice a year. It's hard. I am sending caring supportive thoughts your way.
