to be a little worried about how things will go at my daughter's wedding......

[Northernlurker]

Dd has decided that whilst she wants to get married she never wants to leave me. (Fair enough ) She isn't at all keen on the idea of her sister's leaving home either but accepts that's up to them. I have suggested that her husband move in with us but she doesn't seem to see the need for that so what we settled on last night is that we'll have the wedding and then I'll pick her up afterwards and bring her home.
She thinks this a great scheme. I am little concerned it will appear odd. AIBU?

She is 4 btw

DD2 (5) has received and accepted a proposal from a young man in her class involving a wedding ceremony at Disneyland Florida. Unfortunately there was a recent set-back when he failed to notice her new haircut or give her a Valentine's Day card. She may now consider other options and keep his proposal on the back burner.

DS1's comment when we were talking about him growing up and having a house of his own was that he would have to live with us or us with him - "because, Mummy, who will clean my toilets?"

However it's all ok because he will live with us, convert our roof to a helipad and instead of paying for rent or food (or cleaning!) he will fly us around in his helicopter whenever we would like.

One of my cousins at the age of 5 proposed to my mother. She explained he couldn't marry her because she was his aunt, to which he replied after a short pause for thought, "Well, if I wasn't your uncle I'd marry you".

I caught DS2 and 3 conducting a wedding ceremony on our stairs once. One of them was the groom and the other the vicar. The bride was the dog. I heard the line "Lucy, do you take this man to be your awful wedded husband?"

DS1 heard them too and was furious, because it was his dog.

Pmsl at awful wedded husband, it should be changed to that legally!!

Ds (5) is going to be a ninja. He will have to go away for training and I won't see him till 6 o'clock at night but he will give me a big cuddle every time he gets home, so that's ok. No mention of wives or children as yet, maybe he doesn't want to be a target for blackmail purposes in his future career ...

Up until the end of primary DD was going to marry her cousin and build a house in the back garden. Now age 12 she's marrying someone rich and having our house. Apparently we will only need somewhere small, so we can move out and give her the house!

I think some of her girl friends might be moving in too?

DT1 is going to buy the house next door 'when Mrs N dies' and daddy and DT2 will live there and me and DT1 will live in our house. we'll be keeping mrs N's dog as well as her house. Not sure this will fly with her husband and children though.

My dad wrote in his baby book at the age of 6 that he will be a fireman....and he ended up as a fire chief!
So..all of the above can happen! :)

Love this thread btw

DS isn't onto marriage yet but he has said that he is going to go to work in his car with his vacuum cleaner. He is 2 :)

Hmmmmmmm buying the house next door after the neighbour's death is a definate theme

Love this thread. I've already betrothed DS to the most beautiful girl I've ever met. they are both 6 months old

DD (11) is going to marry Robert Pattinson and make lots of vampire filmswith him. PomBear your DD would be a great author.

Buying next dorr's house for the children is DH's plan

When she was about 4 or 5 dd said that she was going to push us to the pub in our pushchair when we were old. She seems to have gone off that one now that she's 14.

Some children aren't waiting for them to die either

DD (4) was asked to get married by a boy in pre-school. Her reply was 'Don't be stupid, we're only 4! Fair enough.

DS (7) has decided not to have a girlfriend as 'it's boring because you sit with your girlfriend at lunch but don't get to sit with your friends'.

So I think I don't need to start worrying about saving for their weddings just yet.
