Weddingbee boards

We've had a few threads about future/current in-laws..I'm sure majority of people have much more love for their own parents, and these boards are all about expressions in any way, good or bad, to do with weddings and otherwise!!

So this is my dedication to my parents.

Dear mom:

Thanks for putting up with all my crazy antics with this wedding that has yet to happen.  Thanks for letting me vent (a lot) about my FMIL, and telling me that what I'm doing is the right thing even though I might hate it. Thank you dealing with my sometimes insane crying, emotions running high, and the wedding is still 7 months out...Thank you for understanding why I don't want some of your family at the wedding - as hard as a position this puts you in, and as much as it pisses them off, you see my side.  Thank you for giving me the option of backing out of the big, lavish wedding to go and elope if that's what I really wanted despite all the deposits you have paid - oh and thanks for teaching me to realize that this is not a good decision to make when my emotions are running high.  I know I probably would regret it.

I love you more than you could ever know, and now I need to figure out what to get you as a token of my appreciation for the wedding that will never show how much I really love you.

Love,

Me

To dad:

Ditto to the stuff I said to mom - you have put up with my craziness for all these years, and still treat me like your favourite little girl.  You are my hero - I miss seeing you at your hockey games, and I worry about you more as you get older.  I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you guys.  As much as you don't show your emotions, you have always been there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on.  I can't wait for you to walk me down the aisle at my wedding, and I hope that as I grow as a person I am 1/10th the person that you are and that mom is.

Love,

Me

@marlew: will you be reading this at your wedding? i love the idea! its very cute!

@sweetlikcake - hell no!! I'm having a hard enough time dealing with my extended family not understanding where I'm coming from with a lot of my decisions, I don't need to cause any more drama than I already have.  I will probably include this (plus more) in a letter to them when I figure out their gift.  I've realized that emotions make me completely irrational, and despite that they still want me to do what's best for me.  I was baffled when my mom said I could call off the wedding..I have been so stressed out about things I thought this would be the easy way out, and the more I think about the many conversations over the last little while with her the more I realize how amazing she (and my dad) are (moreso than I normally do!).

@marlew: lol my bad! i didnt know all that lol well i think it will be cute if you send it with a thank you card or there wedding gift.
