Awwww so sad, isn't it? I have four 9, 8, and 1 yr old girls and and a 6 yr old boy. I feel so guilty. I think about how sad I'm gonna be. I tell my FH all the time "I'm gonna cry, I know it". But, it's one of the only times that my FH and I will have for ourselves. Honestly, what kind of Honeymoon would it be? they will want to swim, get sand in their eyes, fight, cry, whine, God forbid, get sunburned. It would be a hot mess. But for my older kids, I tell them that they're getting a week off of school and that we're taking them to a special place after the wedding. The baby... my Angel baby, that's the one I'm most worried about because she's attached to my hip. don't know how that's gonna work out. What have you told your kids?

Well I started to tell my 6 year old and she started crying. My son kept saying "me go, me go." He's 2.5. He is attached to me also and won't let anyone but my sis and dad and fi mom watch him without scream crying. I am going to cry too, but right now I am running into some other probs with our wedding plans, (new post posted a few min ago) and now I'm stuck...If you get a chance, let me know what you think I should do...It was just posted a few minutes ago...Thank you.:-)

I did add my two cents on your other post. Was thinking that you should definitely tell your dad how important is for you to have him walk you down the aisle. I felt the same way but my parents are the only people that my baby feels comfortable with. She's mama's baby but adores my mother so I'm willing to sacrifice their presence for her. Turks and Caicos has a great resort Beaches which is for families, water rides and the whole sha bang, there's just no way we can afford it with 4 kids.... I know how you feel about all the stress. People going, people not going, leaving your kids behind, but we have to look at the big picture. Your a mom 24/7. When else will you have some "time off", except when they go to college. This is one of the most important times of your life and you should be able to have it the way you want it. Have fun, relax and enjoy it with your hubby to be.

Awww...thank you so much for your kind words...I know...I really need to do what we want...I don't think my father would mind, but I really want him there, as my mom passed away 4 years ago from cancer and he's all I have left and were very very close. Plus, who doesn't want their dad to give them away? That's so exciting!!:-)

I read your response on your other post.... It's never simple... Why? I do not know. I know how important it is to have your dad there, give it one more try. Tell him to only go 3 days, it'll be cheaper for him, he wont be on your honeymoon (as he says) and he's also making his daughter happy by walking you down the aisle. Tell him how hard it is to leave your babies behind and you would feel better having him there. That should melt his heart. Don't forget to hug him, it works with my dad. lol

Awww...thanks for the advise. Yes, I will do this...:-) I don't ever see him for a few weeks and than he shows up, so mostly our talking is on the phone, so now it has to be in person. I told him this tonight and he says he gets too stressed so he doesn't want to be here to plan..it's on me..lolol...isn't that funny? stubborn polish dad!!:-) lol

Cuban dads aren't any better! lol... I'm very sorry about your mom, it must be really tough especially at a time when you need her the most. My prayers are with you and I hope you get everything your heart desires. If you ever wanna chat, I'm here!
