3 weddings in 3 months...
Same family; 1 in July, then 2 weeks later, then a month later....would wearing the same dress to each wedding be```tacky```? All 3 evening weddings...so would be appropriate for each. Whatcha think?
Regardless of age, we don’t usually look at funerals
as celebrations- maybe in the African American group but no matter the age, I think when your grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts die I can say being Caucasian I do not look at a funeral as celebrating a life, only that I have lost a dear loved one and terribly sad.
Speaking of weddings, tell me if I'm just being petty. SM
My father who is 68 years old and is getting married. I'm not all fond of the woman he is marrying, but it's his life and I'm not a kid anymore, so whatever. Thing is his woman is planning this obnoxiously big wedding complete with formal wedding gown and all -- 200+ guests with a fancy reception with dinner and dancing for everyone. Then she wants a honeymoon to Paris which she is planning. And I haven't even mentioned the engagement ring, let me just say $10,000!
So obviously I think this woman is over the top and a golddigger and a few other choice words I can't post on MTStars. Don't you think an older couple each in their second marriage should have a smaller, family and close-friends only kind of a wedding? Personally, I think if she wants such an extravagant honeymoon, she cut costs in the actually wedding and reception.
I've been holding my tongue, but I really want to say something to my dad. Should I? Ever since he starting dating this woman, I've been polite and friendly, kept my mouth shut. Now that he has decided to marry her, I'm like WOA! Am I just being territorial?
4 weddings, don't you learn by your mistakes. 1 is more than enough.
funerals are for the living
nothing done to the body is going to affect whether she 'rests in peace'. Let the mother bury HER dead where SHE wants. She is the legal next of kin.
p.s. her character isn't like too bad if she was a cop so long. don't believe everything the way the media slants it.
Why are funerals so expensive?
After finding funeral home service for my grand mother. I think that funeral home is so expensive.
You agree with me?
Ugh! When did weddings and births become fund drives? nm

Or netting in school colors like they do for weddings? nm

I have been to 2 funerals where the ashes were buried. sm
I really never understood the reason for the cremation and then the burial but I know it is done. My brother never picked up the ashes for the same reason you marriage went sour.
My family tends to avoid funerals. Instead, several
cremated, and at an appropriate time, their ashes are spread somewhere they really loved being. My dad's were scattered over the ocean. I wasn't able to go, (only 4 spaces on the boat, and my older 1/2 brother (1 of us 6 kids) wanted to go, so I stayed home. Still, I liked it this way because I feel my grief is private - I don't want to put it on public display at a funeral. Also, every time I look at the ocean, a stream, rain, etc., it's kind of nice to know that my dad is part of it.
It really is infuriating to me too! Yes, they also picket soldiers' funerals (sm)

They protest many funerals and memorial services of innocent people. It just makes me so sick.
