| Congratulation, Neal. I think.
At least you got saved the expense and hassle of putting on a wedding for
your daughter, but I'm not necessarily sure if that's a good thing or not. I
have sons, no daughters, but I'd be upset (VERY) if one of my sons got
married without inviting me. Well, there's probably one who will do that,
but that's a whole 'nother story (and not really a bad one, just not
appropriate for this thread).
How are you and your wife feeling about this, besides stunned? Do you think
your daughter and new son-in-law would object to you throwing them a
reception, if you wanted to?
It's funny how we raise our kids to think for themselves, make their own
decisions, stand on their own 2 feet, and then are taken aback when they do.
I'm not sure any of mine have actually reached that point yet, but I think
I'm looking forward to that day <G>.
