One funeral and one marriage down.

One more wedding, a shower and a reception still to come.

My girls will both be living far away from me. There are so many changes in my life right now! Why do they all have to happen at once?

I am concerned a bit about my oldest daughter. She says that she keeps gaining weight, even though she is trying to lose. Her wedding dress will not zip. It might not seem like a big deal to others, but she is in a panic over it. Her fiance loves her the way she is. He is a smart man.

Funeral and consequent issues, disputes between daughters, and baby expected by one. Fortunately 2 very good young men, one s-i-l, one future s-i-l, and could really live without the girls continual disputes. Naturally I'm thrust between them.

Enjoy the wedding. I do understand wedding dress issues; had them 2 years ago.

It is more suited to this time of year, and it zips. She plans to sell the first dress on EBay, after the wedding.

I hope that reduces some of her stress.

I appreciate the support of everyone in this groups. Love ya all!

Wish my daughter had thought of selling HER first dress somewhere. I have no idea what happened to it.
