[QUOTE="buddy, post: 515398, member: 12886"] Makes me crazy when people say they give to charity when it is really that they are finding a way to get tax deductions. I dont give enough to make a dent but I dont bother with receipts (I would if it mattered but still would not be giving for that purpose, Know what I mean??) I think it is so amazing to feel that you have given. Made a difference. I feel sorry for him that he can't feel that and mostly that he wont know the satisfaction of being encouraging to his family in that way. He should be so proud of her and be doing all he can regardless of the pay off for him. What he is doing.....THAT is not charity. In any event, I bet easy child WILL raise the money and do well, and she will feel the gratification that this guy will never know. So exciting that difficult child is planning all of this and that she is open to your input and guidance. It is a time that should bring people together. It is a huge expense to be part of someone's wedding so I sure hope she does ask easy child formally....it is a special moment anyway...(Yeah, I am one of those always a brides maid and never a bride types...maid of honor and in the party...and it IS an honor but it is HUGELY expensive and time consuming). It is wonderful being out to dinner or an event and having the person ask even if you know it is coming. There should be pics and everything for the wedding diary/photo book. She has plenty of time to do this right, hope she does have fun with it! I pray your pain improves. You have so much going on and deserve to be fully present and enjoy it. REALLY glad mother in law is not soon to move in with you, LOL.... Hope she continues to develop connections and routines and happiness there, where you can visit and enjoy FLA too. [/QUOTE]
