Do All Mothers Dream About Their Daughters Having A Huge "Fairy Tale" Wedding?
Answer:
Yes they do and dad's dream about going broke doing it.
I hope not. I want my daughters to finish Med school before any weddings
It is sad commentary on how much she has bought into the Cinderella myth, as has much of our society. It is not reality. I should hope she would be concentrating on making sure you had the skills necessary to support yourself, and make your way in this world rather than that drivel.
Every Mom, deep down inside, for one reason or another, wants their daughter to be the Bride of All Brides. And believe me, if they can pull it off.consider it done!
Nope, mine surely didn't because we do not have the money. She also didn't see me as a "Fairy Tale" daughter so she definitely doesn't dream about it. It is sweet that your mom is into the idea. You've got a great mom!
I don't. My daughter is only 3 but I never dreamed of me having a wedding either. I think the money is better spent on the home and getting the marriage started out better financially instead of a stupid wedding.
Nope, I'm more concerned about paying for my daughter college at the moment. I would like her to have a small intimate wedding and a nice honey moon. Spend all that money on down payment on a new home!
I never did really I left it up to the girls, I was amazed that my husband wanted it though for them. He and I had a big wedding and ours turned out to be just that my mother's idea of a nice wedding and NOT mine, I really was a shy girl and it was too much for me to handle, my pictures did not come out well and she and I did not understand each other through the whole thing. I tried hard with my girls but we had our share of problems too mainly with expense, but they had nice weddings and they enjoyed the attention, I on the other hand did not like the attention but that is just me....
I have been in 4 weddings in 4 years, including my own, and if and when my remaining unmarried sibling, my step-daughters, and my daughter get married, I hope they have small weddings or elope, considering how much work and money is put into an event that only lasts a few hours.
No, I will offer my daughter a wedding of her dreams or I will furnish her and her hubby's first house. It would be about the same amount of money anyways!
Not necessarily. I do wish for my daughters to have a really nice wedding and everything they have dreamed for (within reason). Especially since I didn't get to have what I wanted, I had to do what the parents and in-laws wanted and what everyone else expected. What I wanted wasn't a huge fairy tale wedding at all. I just wanted a small intimate and private wedding reception, with live music and dancing and a nice meal with all of the people I love, not everyone that my parents knew. I just want my daughters to have what they want, not what they have to settle for.
No I never wanted a big wedding and only had a tiny one and that was at the registry office... My daughter may be different, she's only 8 and has never mentioned it, I'm happy whatever she wants to do and hopefully that will be to have a small wedding,
No - my mom told me to elope if I wanted to. I ended up having a small wedding - about 30 people. I hope my girls will save their money and spend it on something that lasts more than a day. I will actively discourage my girls from planning "fairy tale" weddings and I certainly won't pay for one!
