i'm curious if there was one... my mom's reaction to us getting engaged was more dismay than congratulatory. -- nm - colin Oct 24, 18:18 4
- well that sucks. I also once went to a wedding where the mother of the bride wore black, as in mourning clothes. it was awkward. - mafic Oct 24, 18:24 3
  - well that's horrible. I think from my parents' side, they felt that they didn't have any say... - colin Oct 24, 18:26 2
    - yeah, I kind of do that with my mom. it was a little difficult to for her to accept her lack of control. -- nm - mafic Oct 24, 18:27 1
      - that's just life, especially if you abuse it. after i broke up with my college girlfriend of 4 years, she said "oh yeah, I never liked her" - colin Oct 24, 18:29
also: congratulations! -- nm - mafic Oct 24, 18:10 1
- thank ya! -- nm - colin Oct 24, 18:18
