My daughter begged me last night to let her go to her YW's leader's house/best friend's home to watch the pomp and circumstance. My answer at first was "no... it's too late and you have school in the morning. We can DVR it and watch it together tomorrow." Of course, then she pulls the, "everyone elses mom is staying up with their daughters to be part of this once in a lifetime wedding." Of course, those moms don't have to get up at 5:30am to go to work (family prayer aside).
I didn't get married in the temple, but received my endowments and that's what scared and scarred me for life. I absolutely can not believe that these mothers, with a good conscience, can put the hopes and excitedment of such a beautiful wedding in these girls' heads only to have their expectations CRUSHED when they do get married. Any thoughts?
