I could not believe the amount of quality material that exists on this site. The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight it, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.

LOL Any bride who follows your thoughtful suggestions will find that the love and respect she shows her family (and fiance's family) will be returned ten-fold. Sure, some of it will be sticky but how wonderful it is to actually know the numbers, your parents dreams and expectations and how that could all work in real life. Brava, sister!

I am just about to have "the talk" with my parents and I really needed to read this post and part one (which I loved!) My best friend had a disastrous experience with her conversation with her parents because she had it in her mind that they somehow owed her to pay for her wedding - she never even thought about the reality that her dad had just lost his job! Wedding brain can get rather illogical and self-centered! I have vowed to myself to not let that happen to me. I'm following every step you discussed and remembering the fact that the most important thing is that I get to celebrate my marriage with my family and friends... even if we just have a simple cake and champagne reception - we are going to have fun dammit! :-) Thanks for this post and all your other posts - they have such substance!
