[QUOTE="DDD, post: 338623, member: 35"] It's possible, isn't it, that the future bride wants someone clean and sober to be at her side when she chooses her gown? If it were me (and I do not have a daughter in law who thinks I'm perfect, lol) I would have an honest talk with either your son or the bride to be. I'd tell him/her that it is a thrill to be asked along on the shopping trip [B]but [/B]you are not familiar with US wedding procedures and would like to know what, if anything, is expected from you other than emotional support. I may be wrong but it seems logical that you should nicely ask. The response may be "it should be fun and we want you to share in the decision making" or "we are hoping you will contribute toward the gown". Once you know the answer you can commit with-o fear. One thing I have learned after four family weddings, each one has a different agenda and idea of what is right for them. Chances are they won't be bashful. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
