Love is in the Air

We're planning a wedding here at my house. My oldest son has announced his intention to make his girlfriend his wife come fall. I'm of two minds about this. One is that I am far too young to be a mother-in-law, which means he is far too young to get married. He'll just have to wait 10 or 20 years until I feel ready. The other is joy that he is moving on with his life and taking the next big step. He's already self-supporting, which means we can no longer deduct him on our income taxes. He's a mature young man and hopefully will make a good husband. Husband, that sounds so old! Sob! He's too young!

Okay, get a grip on yourself. I can deal with this. After all, people get married every day, so parents deal with losing their baby boys and girls every day. I'm no different. I think.

Anayway, I won't have much to do with the planning since I am the mother of the groom but hopefully they will let me help since I have a feeling next year I will be the mother of the bride. Sigh.
