A letter to my future Child

Dear Child of Mine,

Now that you are of an appropriate age, your father and I are overwhelmed with joy that you have decided to take the next step in your life. You are starting the rest your life with your long time significant other.

Hopefully your father and I have done a great job leading by example so you have chosen someone who treats your right, loves you unconditionally, and will remain faithful to you until death.

Because we are so excited for you, we want you to know we are still here for you if you want help planning your wedding. Yes, we want to be there. No, we don't want to tread on our toes. You want Red and yellow....I will suggest Ronald McDonald be invite but I am sure you will make it magical. You want silver and gold, I will refrain from dressing up as a robot.

This will be your day.

See, your grandmother helped plan your father and My's wedding. She did a fantastic job, as you have seen from the pictures. But it was not easy. There was lots of fighting. There got to be a point where I just finally decided she will just do everything because every idea I had was called white trash.

But your father and I hated that! We wanted to plan it and have our parents show up, excited to give us away. We understand now how they were just wanting to have everything be perfect, but it didn't make things less stressful.

As excited as we are, maybe not about how much it is costing us, we are not here to complain. We love you and your significant other, and have had some great times with both of you. That is why we want to make this day the best day of your life.

We look forward to walking you down the aisle.

Love,
Mom and Dad
