Re: Re-marriage
I think u guys are also forgetting the other reason for a second marriage.. Death.. :(
I am not sure if I want to write all this down or if I have the ability to write this down but anyway, I am giving it a try...
I am 19 years old now and my mother passed away when I was 12 and my younger sister was only 9...When that happened our home was completely crushed...I mean it was extremely hard for all of us specially for my father who was looking after his children, his home and his job...my father was literally cooking and taking care of us like a mother.
When I was 16, I got the news that he might get married again and honestly, we (my sister and I) were not happy....those days were horrible....still, the date was finalized and he got married and as for the celebration, we made it clear to him that we (his kids) do not want any kind of huge event because *I *was and am not able forget my mother and see someone else in her place and my father completely understood that. There was a very small function and it did not go well because me and my sister started to cry like anything in front of everyone!!!! The only reason was that we were terribly missing our mother and by the way, we still do as nobody in this world can take place on my mother...and there are lots of other things I cannot explain here...
Anyway, I am glad that my father kept the celebrations low and listened to us and I think if anyone is re-marrying, he/she should take the advice of his/her family but I seriously don't have any expertise in the field of marriage or re-marriage.
