I am sure it is not unlike many old Westerns where someone is seeking revenge for years and upon finally achieving yet, finds they have nothing else to live for.

Exactly, weddings are nice, but I am afraid a lot of these girls are in for a shock when they realize what they should have been worried about and focused on! My daughter and I have already made a pact, we are not going to get crazy about this whole thing, and we are not going to let anyone else make us crazy over it. There are a few crucial details, and then we are just not going to sweat the small stuff.

They have already started getting pre-marital advice on reading materials from our pastor, and the wedding is not going to be for another year and a half! I'm proud of them!

She went over and visited several times and stayed a couple of months at a time. Then she moved over- She is very happy, but she had lived in CT. prior to moving so the cold winters were not a problem.
