[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are in their 40s and want kids and aren't trying until aftr they are married, they need to get married ASAP. I don't know how far into their 40s, your DD is but fertility only heads in one direction as you age.

You seem to be focused on all the wrong things - them getting married is far more important than the venue or other material things. It isn't their resonsiblity to plan their wedding around their siblings international vacation schedule. And if people can't come because they can't make travel plans in 6 months, then they can't come but most people can arrange travel in that amount of time.

Showers are a bit passe - especially for 40 year olds. Showers were about making sure young adults who were about to get married had the basics to live independently. She and her partner probably will have too much stuff together vs not enough.

You don't get a say. Your priorities for this wedding are completely different than your daughters.

This. I get that you’re happy and excited for your DD, but you’re focusing on all the wrong things. Also given her age, I’d say give her space, you are assuming too many planning responsibilities. If your daughter is ok with it, that is great, but don’t push your timelines on her. 6 months is plenty and if not everyone makes it, that’s fine.[/quote]
