Perhaps your son or daughter is still quite young, or maybe you'll be attending their wedding this year. Either way, as a mother, we know that the thought of your children getting married is often in the back of your mind. For a mother, weddings can be an extremely emotional time. We understand that you may feel a sense of loss, that your child is in someway leaving you. We want to remind you that you are important. Your son or daughter's wedding is a time of letting go as well as holding on. While you may feel like you are losing a piece of you, you are actually gaining love as your family grows.Your child is sharing with another the love and affection they gained and learned from you.

Remember that you are part of the biggest journey of love that your children will take in their lifetime. Cherish and enjoy the little moments as you help with the planning, choosing flowers, and picking out The Gown, for those are the memories that will last long after the guests and cake are gone. We believe there are 3 major principles to abide by as you help you son or daughter take the next big step in their life: Respect, consideration, and honesty.

Respect your son or daughter's wishes and do all that you can to support them.
Be considerate of your future daughter/son-in-law and remember that your son or daughter loves their partner unconditionally, and that you should too.
Be Honest about how you are feeling. Tell your child if you don't feel included. Always remember that sons and daughters want their mothers to be right by their side throughout this new adventure and no matter how near or far you are, you'll always be their mom.

To all our mothers out there, we love and appreciate you! Thank you for always being there for us.

Now, grab some tissues and cuddle up with this amazing letter written by a mom to her future daughter-in-law! Enjoy your extra special day.
